Like the answer in the link I posted in the comment above, I'd suggest first running

npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

You could alternatively use a different registry mirror as well, like the one that Nodejitsu is hosting: npm config set registry https://registry.nodejitsu.com/
