I installed Yeoman on my Mac (OS X 10.9) and I am trying to run yo angular.
I get the following error:
path.js:384
throw new TypeError('Arguments to path.join must be strings');
^

Software versions
yo also says there is an update for yo (1.2.1) but it won't install with npm update -g yo
I also tried installing on another machine with the same result (following the yeoman guide http://yeoman.io/codelab/setup.html)
If anyone could help me out I would be very thankful.
To be able to update yo, you will need to have the executable file under a folder you have write permission on.
I work on Mac, and to solve this issue I had to do the following:
First; Change where npm installs global modules. Run
$ npm config set prefix="/home/USERNAME/npm"
Then; Add the new path to the $PATH variable (in your .bash_profile or .bashrc)
PATH=$PATH:/home/USERNAME/npm/bin
export PATH
Finally; Un-install your global npm packages and re-install them using the new configuration.
