Fresh install on a Xubuntu desktop VM, fully updated, running ember new gets me this:
jrusso@ember:~$ ember new jossdo

Tried npm cache clear in home prior to ember new and got the same result. I had 0.0.35 working but I wanted to do a clean install of 0.0.37 so I cloned my virtualbox snapshot prior to installing any node software, followed the ember-cli gh-pages install procedure and this is what I got. Relatively new to ember.js, node and linux webdev so please go easy on me.
UPDATE
Not sure what the issue is here, but after trying a few subsequent ember new commands, it does seem to be working. My first subsequent run completed npm installs and bower installs though it had a few messages for me:
npm ERR! registry error parsing json
npm ERR! registry error parsing json
make: Entering directory `/home/jrusso/testrun/node_modules/ember-cli/node_modules/testem/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/ws/build'

make: Leaving directory `/home/jrusso/testrun/node_modules/ember-cli/node_modules/testem/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/ws/build'
Didn't run ember serve on that, but I rm -rf testrun and then ran ember new testrun again and this time I didn't get the npm ERR! messages but I still got the make messages.
Removed it again and tried ember new testrun --verbose and it appears that the NPM errors are sporadic and non-descriptive (the message doesn't contain any indication of which package.json it's unable to parse). I'll continue to update if I have any more issues with this.
