[andrei-tara]

same issue here :(

[annuay]

I do not have a real fix to the issue. However, I feel that it is related to npm version. I downgraded the npm version to 4.1.2 (and node 8.1.1) and it installed fine.

[andrei-tara]

It really sucks because I need transactional support and I can't change the node version :|
