Installing error when trying to npm install - node.js

Question

I'm new to node.js, and I've been trying to npm install some modules - namely, cheerio, express and request. But I keep getting this:
npm WARN package.json node-web-scrape#0.0.1 No repository field.
npm WARN package.json node-web-scrape#0.0.1 No README data
npm WARN package.json node-web-scrape#0.0.1 No license field.
npm WARN retry will retry, error on last attempt: Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, rename 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\npm-16500-38020820\registry.npmjs.org\jsdom\-\jsdom-7.2.2.tgz.1538180439' -> 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\npm-16500-38020820\registry.npmjs.org\jsdom\-\jsdom-7.2.2.tgz'
npm ERR! Windows_NT 10.0.10586
npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "install" "cheerio"
npm ERR! node v4.4.7
npm ERR! npm v2.15.8
But the folder node_modules still appears in my directory. So OK, I try stuff on it. My main.js file has the following:
var request = require('request');
console.log("Hello, World!")
That's all it's got. Immediately, it breaks:
C:\Users\user\Documents\Crawler>node main
module.js:327
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'process-nextick-args'

Help?

Since you're using npm version 2.15.8, windows has a limit of folder depth. Update your npm to npm#3.
npm install -g npm#3
npm cache clear
Then, delete your node_modules/ before installing the npm modules(cheerio, express, request)
