So, this should put you in the right direction.

https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/Troubleshooting
 this link glitches, when you goto that page click NPM at the top, the one on the left to redirect backwards. Next time copy the error ex: npm ERR! and search it on google for the most recent results, typically it'll be the first result! there are extra characters at the end of it I can't remove lol.

use places like github they are reliable.
