Your npm install is at /Users/
I would recommend using npm install -g n to install n. The n-install doesn't default the install dir to /usr/local/lib like the npm install. I would check that and see if that fixes your problem.

So on Mac, what base install of node/npm would you recommend in order to install n since I think by default it doesn't exist. It's kind of a weird catch22 right? I need node/npm to install n, a node version manager, to install different versions of node/npm ;)

Install it with https://nodejs.org/en/. That'll give you npm as well, and then you can install the node version manager n with npm i -g n

have the same issue and installed with npm i -g n:

@troy0820 @goldenyz Same here, I just uninstalled my whole n/avn setup and installed LTS node from official site (which btw, always requires sudo since it's installed as root) and I installed n and avn as recommended, and I still get similar output:
$ sudo npm ls --depth=0 -g

Extraneous packages _even though the error is there_ doesn't impact N from being functional. This is because some of these packages are either invalid or not in your parent's package.json.

I was having the same issue and narrowed down some reproduce steps. I think the extraneous messages related to npm/node_modules are because n is simply overwriting with each install and not removing older files. When the npm dependencies change between versions, the left-over files from previous npm installations cause the error messages from some commands.
Reproduce steps with default locations on OS X.:
n 8.7.0
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules
n 6.11.4
npm list --global --depth=0 # clean
n 8.7.0
npm list --global --depth=0 # extraneous
