npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v0.10.37
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/

That version of npm you are using doesn't work well with the version of node you are using.

The supported version of npm would be 2.15.1 for that version of node.

I would suggest installing something like nvm https://github.com/creationix/nvm/blob/master/README.md which will handling installation of compatible versions for you.

You can use any version of node you like using nvm use 10.0.10 and it will use version 10.0.10 of node and 2.15.1 of npm.
