I want the Raspberry Pi 2 to read data from another device through the Serial port. However, I cannot install the npm's serialport package. I followed the instructions about Raspbian on https://www.npmjs.com/package/serialport. I was able to install v0.10.12 of Node and v1.2.32 of npm. But when I try installing the serialport module I get the following in the command line:
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/serialport
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/serialport
