Also whenever I try to run something like Bower it says "command not found" I've tried with and without sudo. Ive gotten the same error on a mac and windows. I've looked around and can't seem to find anything. Any ideas?

try with using sudo, or remove the nodejs and reinstall might be an version issue. — Profstyle, Nov 23 '15 at 08:41

According to the fsevents release page, node v5 support didn't come until fsevents v1.0.3. FWIW v1.0.5 is the current release as of this writing.

jest-cli expected a lower version node. Upgrade jest-cli works for me (I am using node version 4.0.0)

npm install jest-cli --save-dev
npm install

Assuming you have already used sudo to install node and npm. Check Your Current version Node and NPM. Upgrade it NPM to the latest version as npm version changes more frequently than node does. Also upgrade Node to the current stable version. For completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X) check : How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)

Npm install not working. Same error on Pc and Mac
