This is an issue related to SSL certificates, and it's most common when you're trying to run npm from behind a proxy. There are a few ways to remedy this issue:
You can reset npm's proxy settings by running:
npm config rm proxynpm config rm https-proxy
You can use the non-https version of npm:
npm config set registry
