Clean reinstall Appcelerator Studio to the Mac.

At first, remove the Studio from Applications plus the following for a clean state


sudo rm -rf ~/.appcelerator
sudo rm -rf ~/.titanium
sudo npm uninstall -g titanium
sudo npm uninstall -g alloy
sudo npm uninstall -g acs
sudo npm uninstall -g appcelerator

Check your node version and java version then make it compatible according to the doc link


https://platform.appcelerator.com/#/product/cli
http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Installing_Oracle_JDK-section-src-29004850_InstallingOracleJDK-OSX

 Then install CLI manually via the terminal respectively


sudo npm install -g appcelerator
appc use latest
appc setup -l trace
sudo npm install -g alloy

Finally, take a fresh copy of Appcelerator Studio and install it in your machine. It will automatically install all dependencies.

Then open the studio and let me know how it goes.

Error: return binding.mkdir(pathModule._makeLong(path)

This can be happen if the username included a ~, and I think this breaks some internal code. Setup code can not handle the user's local enviroment path like that and as is obvious from the error message, it tries to create a directory called "c:\users\c:"

So create a fresh new user to you system.

Hope this helps.
