Installing getpapers on Ubuntu distros

[alexmaina]

I am trying to install getpapers on my ubuntu 14.04 box. However, when i run npm install --global getpapers i get the following errors

`alex@alex-Studio-1555:~$ npm install --global getpapers npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/getpapers npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/getpapers npm ERR!

How do i get round the problem?

I also attach the log(see below)

unfortunately node setup using apt-get requires you to use sudo to install new node packages. So this should work:

sudo npm install --global getpapers
