Check all the packages you are trying to install. Some of them might be unpublished from npm. See this issue: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4982

There can be two problems:

1. You might be using old versions of npm. You can update your client with

   npm install npm -g

2. There is a chance that the package you are trying to install had been unpublished from npm :)
