This could be a problem with your connection to the Internet. Can you try to install a different module like npm install express and also verify you are connected to the Internet with ping stackoverflow.com
You might also want to check that you are using recent versions of node and npm and even maybe reinstall if possible in case something is corrupted with your installation.
If you need to setup a proxy this link details someone with a similar error and has a good explanation of how to solve it.
From the link above you could try:
npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
