What platform are you on? What version of node.js and npm are installed? Do you have all of the requirements listed here? https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp#installation

Just a note - I was getting a lot of install errors because I didn't know I didn't have all the prerequisite software installed. If you're having trouble, make sure you have everything at the @mprentic-harris provided above.

I have exactly the same @mprentic-harris 's issue. I have OS X 10.11.1 and I have npm version 3.3.12 node version v5.4.1 and I have all the prerequisite commented by @mprentic-harris

I've tried almost everything... Please help...
