Unable to install appium

I used the npm tool to install new appium version & this is the error I’m receiving.

npm -g install appium

Can someone help me out of this?

@harikrishnaburma What version of node.js and npm are you using?

@Blinkk node 7.2.0
npm 3.10.10

Hm, I am using node v7.0.0 and npm v3.10.9 and have no issues. Can you try reverting back to these versions and see if you still see the problem?
