I was able to resolve this, I thought I had Git installed and when I checked, I did not. I installed GIT but then came accross a premission denied error when executing
sudo npm install -g homebridge-harmonyhub

Command failed: /usr/bin/git clone -q git://github.com/e7hz3r0/harmonyhubjs-client.git /root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-17183d66
npm ERR! fatal: could not create leading directories of '/root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-17183d66': Permission denied
I installed without elevated permissions and it installed without issue.

npm install -g homebridge-harmonyhub

this plugin is fucked up.. as root i get the error above, as non root i get a different error.. bullshit!

wow... when i add write permissions to everyone for /usr/lib/node_modules iam able to install it (do NOT do it!)

[orefalo]

npm install -g homebridge-harmonyhub

worked thank u for tip

[DJay-X]

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local && npm install homebridge-harmonyhub -g

Worked for me.

[felkahlout]

@DJay-X Never worked for me

[JeffreyStocker]

my node files were in a different location,

this worked for me on a raspberry pi 3
sudo chown -R /usr/lib/node_modules/ && npm install homebridge-harmonyhub -g

using sudo with npm install did not work, but using normal npm install -g did after i gave myself permission

[thanosbetyping]

If I run without the sudo (npm install -g homebridge-harmonyhub), I get this error;

admin$ npm install -g homebridge-harmonyhub
