Help a n00b out! I can't get homebridge to install.

Trying to install on OS X 10.6. 8 using the command sudo npm install -g homebridge . I’d really so to get this going, though, so could you please (to put it in Reddit-speak) ELI5?

Here’s the output that I get from that command and I’m attaching the log file that Terminal indicates I should. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!
