Hyper: JavaScript heap out of memory during `npm search hyper`

[aem]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name:
  macOS Sierra (10.12.1 - 16B2555)

• Hyper.app version:
  1.0.0 (1.0.0.1303)

• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js:
  Have only changed font size in the gist and that's all, but here you go https://gist.github.com/aem/719779aa772b49f36d7ed87177022fbe

• Relevent information from devtools _(CMD+SHIFT+I on Mac OS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere)_:
  I see the following messages repeated a couple of times:

Unimplemented DEC Private Mode: 1034
Unknown OSC code: "11"

• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app:
  Is Vanilla

Issue

Quite simple, I tried to run an npm search hyper to browse plugins, as recommended in the README (I just downloaded Hyper a few minutes ago) and got the following error:

$ npm search hyper

Appears to OOM on certain NPM operations. Not all, as ops like npm install complete successfully.

Let me know if you need any more information

Whoops. Didn't do my due diligence. Appears to be an NPM issue, not Hyper. Disregard

Experiencing same error. How to resolve this?

[aem]

As I stated, it's an NPM issue: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12619#issuecomment-220176074
tl;dr: npm install -g npm@latest
