JavaScript Building a MEAN Application Introduction to the MEAN Stack Building a MEAN App Overview

Errors after "Running npm install for you... This may take a couple minutes"

1) I installed both "npm install -g yo" and "npm install -g generator-meanjs" 2) I ran "yo meanjs" and followed along with the Treehouse video 3) I ended up at "Running npm install for you... This may take a couple minutes" 4) It took a while and then I got a series of error messages and warnings (see below) 5) How can I fix the following and move forward with building this MEAN app?

Running npm install for you....
This may take a couple minutes.

The Mean.js yeoman generator is not required for this course. Huston briefly demonstrates how to generate a MEAN stack application but moves on to setting up a MEAN stack application from scratch.

For sure thanks Ken. I still want to figure out why I am getting those errors for future reference.

bash-3.2$ sudo yo meanjs You're using the official MEAN.JS generator. ? What mean.js version would you like to generate? 0.4.0 0.4.0 ? In which folder would you like the project to be generated? This can be changed later. mean Cloning the MEAN repo....... ? What would you like to call your application? MEAN ? How would you describe your application? Full-Stack JavaScript with MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, and Node.js ? How would you describe your application in comma seperated key words? MongoDB, Express, AngularJS, Node.js ? What is your company/author name? UW-Madison/Mona ? Would you like to generate the article example CRUD module? Yes ? Would you like to generate the chat example module? Yes Running npm install for you.... This may take a couple minutes. Error: Command failed: cd mean && npm install npm WARN deprecated phantomjs@2.1.3: Package renamed to phantomjs-prebuilt.
