npm install after a fresh clone causes warnings

[maboa]

This could just be me :) so if somebody could verify, that would be great. Note these warnings/errors don't appear to prevent the Interactive Editor running.

Here's what I get :

MarkB$ npm install

@maboa It looks to be related to this: npm/npm#11632

Perhaps try upgrading Nodejs as I see the issue above is closed?

[schalkneethling]

@maboa This still happening for you?

• Yup
• Nope

[schalkneethling]

We have had a bunch of new contributors all starting of with a fresh clone, and so far no reports of this problem. Closing for now. Please feel free to reopen should the problem happen again.
