    What's your question? Seems like you don't have permission to access /usr/lib/node_modules/scope-chains-closures. Did you try what is suggested in the error message? Commented Jun 8, 2015 at 7:30

    use sudo to run as an admin Commented Jun 8, 2015 at 7:30
  • check the 14th line in your log: npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator. Commented Jun 8, 2015 at 7:45
  • for CodeSchool you are probably using a Linux server in the cloud somewhere. On Mac and Linux boxes, you will need to use sudo frequently to run npm commands, get used to it :) Commented Jun 8, 2015 at 8:03
