The raspberry pi I’m using is a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2.
I’m not quite sure if the error is coming from this

(node:8915) [DEP0022] DeprecationWarning: os.tmpDir() is deprecated. Use os.tmpdir() instead.

or entirely something else.

I basically changed software from Raspbian Sketch to Raspbian Jessie. Thanks for helping.

Update npm using:

npm install npm@latest -g

(you may need sudo access for that, I’m not sure anymore. Try without first.)

Update node FOR EXAMPLE by using n:

npm cache clean -f
npm install -g n
n stable

Again, I’m not sure, try without sudo. If it’s not working try with sudo.
