Probably you are using an old version of node.

I would recommend you to use Node Version Manager

Install NVM - curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.23.0/install.sh | bash
Install latest node version - nvm install 0.10.35
Remove your old node_modules
Try to install the package again npm install -g yo

@Dev Did you install it with `curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.23.0/install.sh | bash ` ? – Vitalii Zurian Jan 22 '15 at 15:04
I have now installed nvm but the same error again for yo – DoIt Jan 22 '15 at 15:22
@Dev could you try to reinstall your global node modules? For this, you'd have to physically remove them (or move to a backup folder) – Vitalii Zurian Jan 22 '15 at 15:23
