title: npm install takes forever and doesn't install engine.io
body: <p>I'm trying to locally install this package from Github: <a href="https://github.com/msalom28/Larasocial" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/msalom28/Larasocial</a></p>
  
  <p>The installation instructions are very clear, however, I'm getting stuck on <code>npm install</code> - it just hangs there for hours. I have tried everything, from rebooting my machine, to updating nodejs and <code>npm install -g sails</code> - nothing works.</p>
  
  <p>This is the output so far.</p>
