I have found people with similar errors are deleting $HOME/.node-gyp/ then running an npm update, I tried this and it did not fix the issue. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Feel free to close this, I am behind a very strict corporate firewall and I had to use the "hack":
export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
I know this exposes for MitM attack, but this application will never face the web.

Thank you!
