Installation fails on Ubuntu 14.04.1 - 4.2.0-30-generic - 64 bit

[Nachiket26]

I have installed the node using the commands :
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

Listed in https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814 (Top command)

After the successful installation I could get the node and npm versions as 7.10.0 and 4.5.0 respectively.

I tried to install dashing-js with the command "npm install -g dashing-js" which failed with the exception :
