   Hmm, a bunch of that looks weird:

   1. It appears to be trying to rename a bunch of directories under /Users/useruser/.npm-packages/.npm-packages/... - the double .npm-packages looks odd - does this directory exist?
   2. ENOENT during npm install npm/npm#9633 seems to suggest running npm cache clean might help, failing that you could try deleting the directory /Users/useruser/.npm-packages
   3. Could you post the contents of ~/.npmrc if it exists? (remove any auth keys before you do)
   4. When an install fails, there's usually a path to npm-debug.log file at the end - what you posted looks truncated, was there any more output?
   5. If there was an npm-debug.log file, could you please post it's contents?

   What's the value of your $PATH environmental variable?

   It looks like you need to add /Users/useruser/.npm-packages/.npm-packages/bin to your path in order to find the nodebot-workshop executable, however this is something the node installer normally does for you so I'm not sure why it's necessary, nor am I sure why you have two nested .npm-packages folders - something may have gone wrong during your installation of node.

   I'd open an issue with npm/npm if I were you.
