@brownman could the problem be ownership? because you are running as root?

I'm also running script as root and have similar problem ((

root@wordshome:/opt# mean init wordshome
? What would you name your mean app? wordshome
Installation of mean should not be done as root! bailing out

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mean-cli/node_modules/inquirer/node_modules/rx/dist/rx.js:580
throw e;

RUNNING AS ROOT

I have remote ubuntu 14.04
@fyockm Thank you for support!

Hi Sergei,
Mean was changed to explicitly avoid being running as root.
The only thig you need to install as root (With sudo) is mean-cli, gulp and
bower.
Everytime you run mean using gulp (or node server.js) you should be doing
so with normal non-root permissions.
You can run chown -R whoami ~/.npm and on your mean installation (As
root) to fix the permissions.
Good luck
Lior

@liorkesos Thank you!
I created new user on server but instead "chown -R whoami ~/.npm" I simply deleted ~/.npm
"rm -rf ~/.npm"

I can run Mean.io on remote ubuntu! All OK! ))) Thank You!!

Several moments for my situation

1 - when I run mean project I got only small warning from console
image
[Error: /home/admin/wordshome-com/node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson/build/Release/bson.node: invalid ELF header]
js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version

2 - I not found full article with installation mean.io on remote Ubuntu with advices about root user and .etc
Same article will be fine for new users
