When I am trying to install a meanjs template with yo generator sudo yo meanjs, it gives me this error:

 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/write-file-atomic/index.js:236
    throw err

It seems like root user cannot access to this file. Removing sudo before the command walked for me. I mean, just try yo meanjs

could you try this :

sudo npm install -g yo --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

and then run command to create app

sudo yo meanjs

If still getting error try this:

chown -R $USER $HOME/.npm

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo

sudo yo meanjs
