Error during web-starter-kit using 'npm install'

[matt-matt1]

As per the instructions on Google Developers, I installed the latest node.js (downloaded, extracted, configured, and built from source on my CentOs 7 machine). Then I downloaded the Web Starter Kit project zip and extracted. Then it said type 'npm install', here's the output:

# npm install
