After experiencing many issues installing the node.js, I decided to remove everything and start fresh.
I just finished a clean install of node.js and Particle-CLI. Below are the system information and steps I took.
Hardware: MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008)
OS: OS X Yosemite
Version: 10.10.5 (14F27)
Xcode: Version 7.0 (7A220)
node-v0.10.29.pkg https://nodejs.org/download/release/v0.10.29/node-v0.10.29.pkg
Download & install the node from https://nodejs.org/download/release/v0.10.29/node-v0.10.29.pkg
Open a terminal window
Login as root
Type sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node
Wait until its done.
Type sudo npm install node-pre-gyp
Wait until its done.
Type sudo npm install -g particle-cli
Now you should see
npm WARN engine hawk@3.1.0: wanted: {"node":">=0.10.32"} (current: {"node":"v0.10.29","npm":"1.4.14"})
npm WARN engine cryptiles@2.0.5: wanted: {"node":">=0.10.40"} (current: {"node":"v0.10.29","npm":"1.4.14"})
