I could really use someone's help on this as I have been troubleshooting this for a really long time now with no remediation.
The issue is simply installing the NativeScript CLI onto my OSX Yosemite Mac. I followed the steps according to NS' website (installing proper Node.JS version, downloaded Xcode 7.2 (due to OS constraints), installed JSDK, installed NS Sidekick, installed Android Studio w/ proper SDK along with every other required dependancy.
However, when I run "sudo npm i -g nativescript --unsafe-perm" (otherwise it will throw a EACCES error), I get the following log with it saying I missing all of these dependencies I know I have but it is claiming I don't.
The biggest kick is that while it still will say NativeScript successfully installed, whenever I run any tns command (like tns doctor), the bash command cannot be found.
I have made sure to follow the directions of adding NS to my path as well as my Android and Java SDKs. Here is the full log:
jsmbp:~ Js$ sudo npm i -g nativescript --unsafe-perm

What can I do to fix this? npm also declares "rollbackFailedOptional" every time I try to reinstall after I uninstall it. Is npm caching a broken version and can I force it to do a genuine "reinstall?" It has been so frustrating as everything looks messed up and I really don't want to give up on NS. Let me know your thoughts and thank you!
Begin by installing node.js correctly. I've you are having to you
--unsafe-permthat means, the node.js installation is not done right. I suggest you installnvmusing homebrew and then install node from that. Please refer to my solution in this post https://discourse.nativescript.org/t/not-installing-on-macos/3292/4
