This happens if your current project's package.json has name: 'basic-auth' (Project name is the same as the module you're trying to install)

Make sure this isn't the case

Hi @nagarajukarumanchi I'm going to close this issue as I believe @jordonias was able to answer the question and there has not been any response.
