I'm thinking it's just some sort of versioning issue but I'm not sure how to go about resolving the error. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Hmm. Strange. I just cloned the repository and did a npm install with no issues. Running node v4.1.2 and npm v.2.14.4 on Mac OSX 10.11.

Here is an example #481 , and here is another one #468 .

I tried editing the json package, but no luck. I'm going to try an install on non-admin OSX account.

[olefredrik]

That should not be necessary. My OSX account has admin rights, and I have no problems. This is kind of weird. What error message you get if you take away postscripts from package.json?

Have you tried uninstalling re-installing Node.js with the latest build from https://nodejs.org?

Same issue here
This is most likely a problem with the foundationpress package...
node -v v4.1.2
npm -v 3.3.5
