Problems with installations.

While trying to install using: npm install -g foundation-cli bower gulp

I get:

npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower' npm ERR! at Error (native) npm ERR! { [Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower'] npm ERR! errno: -13, npm ERR! code: 'EACCES', npm ERR! syscall: 'mkdir', npm ERR! path: '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower', npm ERR! fstream_type: 'Directory', npm ERR! fstream_path: '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower', npm ERR! fstream_class: 'DirWriter', npm ERR! fstream_stack: npm ERR!

echo $PATH gives:

I was messing with python week ago, what wrong could I do and if there a chance to resolve that?

Have you tried running the command as sudo as that looks like a permissions issue.
