Getting error when trying to install about gulp-util

[yocontra]

If you look at the error that package name is not one of ours. It says object-keys. You likely pulled a fucked up tarfile, just clear everything out and try again. npm cache rm && rm -rf node_modules && npm install

Is that a command 'post there instead'? would be nice to have a bit of communication, btu sorry if its not a direct issue, will let them now thanks.

bit more details as its says: This is not a bug in npm.
so best to post to the 'package author'.

Hope this helps a little more
