I was experiencing this same issue. Changing in the version for grunt-node-inspector to prepend a ">=" instead of a "~" got this to work for me.

Link to github page where I found this solution.

Worked here, too, although I changed my package.json from `"grunt-node-inspector": "~0.1.5"` to `">=1.0.0"`, which is the latest version as of this writing. – pbnelson Jun 26 '17 at 13:12

On Ubuntu 16.04, what worked for me was upgrading node

I am replicating solution from the above link below

To update, you can install n

sudo npm install -g n

Then just :

sudo n latest

or a specific version

sudo n 8.9.0

Then try and install

sudo npm install <package>
