v8-debug failure while installation

Hi, I cannot install node-inspector, for some weird reason. I’m told to contact v8-debug, but… if I try installing v8-debug, it works 😛 I’m using nvm. here’s stack trace:

npm install -g node-inspector

> v8-profiler@5.6.3 preinstall /home/bugari/.nvm/versions/node/v6.0.0/lib/node_modules/.staging/v8-profiler-9b619596
> npm install node-pre-gyp

/home/bugari/.nvm/versions/node/v6.0.0/lib

should I contact v8-debug, or is there other way?

The solution proposed by adam also worked for me.

I had a nearly identical error too and solved it by installing nvm, then installing and using the newest version of node then trying the npm install command again.

Hopefully this helps someone.
