NPM install keeps failing with -- Invalid name: "@risingstack/trace"

[icecubed]

I am trying to test out trace and using npm to install the package seems to fail with the following.

# npm install @risingstack/trace --save
npm ERR! Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "@risingstack/trace" "--save"

My npm version is 3.8.6 The full debug log for npm is as follows

Hello @icecubed,

that's strange, it should only happen if your npm does not support private modules, which clearly cannot be the case. Could you try with npm@2 latest?
