title: WSL v1 - npm crashes at installing grpc
body: <p>I'm using WSL v.1 and I'm trying to start locally the <a href="https://github.com/DataTurks/DataTurks/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DataTurks</a>' frontend bazaar app which is React based. So I basically type <code>npm install</code> but I run into an error when the <code>npm</code> reaches the library <code>grpc</code> and the error provided is:</p>
  <pre><code>path /home/kmartin62/DataTurks/bazaar/node_modules/.staging/grpc-2c7a1feb/node_modules/mkdirp

  <p>I tried to install it as a super-user, <code>sudo</code> but the error keeps flashing. I even installed <code>grpc</code> with <code>-g</code> option ahead, for a global install, but when I run <code>npm install</code> after this it crashes again.</p>
  <p>Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know how to solve it?</p>
