How to fix "npm install" issue on ubuntu?

Question

virtual box

Such a situation:
There is VirtualB: host - Windows 10, guest - Ubuntu 14.
On the guest (Ubuntu) I try to run "npm install". But the process goes to a certain place, and then freezes.

And everything freezes in this place.
Does anyone know what this might be related to?

I think you have a very old version of Node.js and NPM. Install fresh 8.1.2 from here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#de...
I have on Ubuntu 17.10 x64 with Node.js 8.1.2 and NPM 5.0.3 your package.json installed without problems.
