this was probably just a network error. does it still happen? why do you want to install from the tarball when you can use the registry?

[DennisAhaus]

My first try was install via npm --> npm install --save event-stream but this results in same error.

Just now tried again with command npm install --save event-stream --> same error.
After that tried command npm install --save string --> works

[dominictarr]

that is very strange. it worked for me. what version of npm are you using?

[dominictarr]

aha, I see in your error message it you are using npm@2.8.3
I installed event stream successfully with 2.9.0

hmm, looking at your log it looks like the problem is actually in stream-combiner... I'm guessing that it half downloaded stream-combiner and you do not have a valid stream-combiner tarball.

bet you this fixes it: rm -rf ~/npm-cache/stream-combiner

[DennisAhaus]

Thx for your help. Now it works 👍

Getting this error anyone Help me Please. @dominictarr

[dominictarr]

@JaganJonnala this is not because of event-stream, the error message says that it couldn't parse the package.json for inflight

[dominictarr]

@JaganJonnala I'd suggest posting the issue on gulp, and trying to install the things that are installed when you install gulp to try and figure out the thing which is broken.
