Anything else relevant?
The first time I ran the command it seemed to start working. It updated the package.json and logged installing dependencies. I aborted the process with HOST + C. I thought that had potentially partially installed files and quit writing midstream. That would explain the "nam" is not valid JSON message. However, I get the exact same error on two different machines.
