Your error clearly says: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir which is a permissions issue. Looks likes it trying to create directory called build inside /usr/local/lib/node_modules/hdf5/.

To fix it, just run the same command with sudo at the beginning.

But, I would not recommend it unless you install global package. Do you try to install a local package ? if so, make sure the permissions of the node_modules is not root. If it does, either chown it or remove it and do npm install with non-root user.
