Solution 1

You can update the npm version in package.json since npm version you have given is out-dated.

"engines": {
   .... /*other settings*/
    "npm": "2.1.x" /* latest version*/
 }

will solve the problem.

Solution 2

You must have msysgit installed on your machine. Also, the path to my Git installation is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git". Yours might be different. Please check where yours is before continuing.

msysgit(gitforwindows.org) go to this website you can download Git

Solution 3

I have managed to solve this issue by updating npm to stable version.

"engines": {
    "node": "0.10.x",
    "npm": "2.1.x"
  }

Had the same issue. Updating node to 0.10 as above worked for me.
