I believe this is because you're using an older version of node & NPM that one (or more) of your dependencies doesn't support.
Using the same versions as you (Node#8.10.0 and NPM#3.5.2) I also get an error when running npm install.
With more recent versions (Node#12.15.0 and NPM#6.13.4) your package.json installs without a problem.
