node --version v6.2.1

1. I have been trying to install angular-cli for about a day or two.
2. ⠙ Installing packages for tooling via npmsh: 1: typings: not found
   unzip error /tmp/npm-4970-96090951/registry.npmjs.org/babel-core/-/babel-core-5.8.38.tgz
   error reading /tmp/npm-4970-96090951/registry.npmjs.org/q/-/q-1.4.1.tgz
3. I tried to install ng via npm. I think that just compounded problem.

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

Check the permissions on /home/diahron/.config/configstore/ember-cli.json and the directories above it. Change the owner back to yourself as needed. Looks like you must have used sudo earlier which could have made some of those dirs/files owned by root.

I think @Splaktar is correct, this looks like a permissions issue. There is more information about it here https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

I have a similar error after upgrading from the previous beta (which worked fine)
node --version v5.11.1

ng new ang-cli-test2

the failed installation is missing the 'typings' folder

I installed 'typings'
npm install typings --global

and I'm working again.

@stocksp that issue is https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/1092. Fixed on master, waiting for a release.
