Running Grunt commands Windows 8

I am trying to install Grunt using 

npm install -g grunt-cli

But am getting an error I do not know how to interpret, I am new to Grunt and web dev. I am certain I have a valid installation of npm and node.js. If anyone could explain what the following npm-debug file means and/or what I should do to get a valid grunt installation, that would be extremely helpful.

I am installing Grunt because it is used to build Bootstrap. Sorry to dump a big error log, I am not sure how much of it is meaningful.

It looks like the cmd/command shell is attempting to run grunt commands with insufficient permissions.

Start the cmd/command shell as administrator, then the problem should be resolved.
