is this Raspberry Pi? What instructions did you use?

I get a similar/identical terminal response when I enter

sudo npm install -g blynk-library

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 +B and run the latest NOOBS form Adafruit. After starting from scratch a second time, I updated all the other important things for a new RPi before following the instructions on instructables on how to install Node.JS and the Blynk Library and still get the same response. However, I can still do things, like link my phone to the RPi and turn stuff on/off, so it shouldnā€™t prohibit you from having a little fun @nunokid.
