This error is masking another problem which is that you're doing the install as root and npm drops privileges when you invoke it as root.

As best practice you really shouldn't be doing any npm or node work as root, try doing it as a proper user without elevated permissions. I'm not sure why os.userInfo() is causing this problem, something specific about your OS or container or whatever this is, but it's only using it for a logging message so I'll submit a hide that failure. For now, your workaround is to drop permissions to a user account.
