npm install returning error - node.js

I'm trying to install a project from GitHub and followed the installation instructions. When I run npm install in the project directory it's returning the error results below:

Does anybody know the issue? I just installed nodejs and npm so I have no idea why this would happen.

I also hit into this error. It might be due to my network.
I work out as:
npm --strict-ssl false install <pkg>
This option sets validation on nodejs's CA as optional. I think it has the same effect as Sandile's answer.

I think an issue just like this one has already been answered to some degree here: NPM installation error.
But, to save you some time, try npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

I was having the same kind of problem with the same version of node and npm.
npm ERR! node -v v0.6.12
npm ERR! npm -v 1.1.4
These are the versions that you get with ubuntu using apt-get.
To fix the problem, I removed the old versions:
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
This removes node and npm.
Then installed the latest:
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
sudo chmod -R a+rx /usr/local/lib/node_modules
You can remove the install directory when you're done with it.
I got the script that I based this on from:
https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814 which is linked to from: http://www.joyent.com/blog/installing-node-and-npm/
The article is a little out of date. For instance, npm comes with node now.

I get this error when I work in a virtual machine: a VMWare Ubuntu 12.04.5. Would you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Read the error:
Please try running this command again as root/Administrator
Try:
sudo npm install -g npm
And as #mscdex said, you have to upgrade you node version. it is really old.

My npm is not working

my npm is not working at all. Not only when I'm trying to install using a package.json file, but also when I'm just trying to install a node module. Here is what comes up in the terminal:

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
This basically changes the url to http instead of the default https

Sorry bad english. Thank you.
Like the answer in the link I posted in the comment above, I'd suggest first running
npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
Recomend use sudo.
sudo npm install socket.io
