Errors installing socket.io for node.js

I installed node on my windows 8 machine with no problems and then went to install the socket.io package to use for an assignment. After typing

npm install socket.io

I got a huge amount of errors.npm install socket.io errors

What I've tried so far: this - nodejs npm install socket.io error and this - NPM - Can't install socket.IO

The first answer in both. A lot of the other stuff I'm finding is for either windows 7 or Mac so I'm not sure if this is just a windows 8 thing.

As you can see in logs you have a permission error. Script doesn't have enough permissions to create directory in C:\\Program_Files\.... Use other directory instead or run command with Admin permissions.

Try running npm install socket.io

except this time run the command line as an administrator. You can do this in Windows 8 by going to your app search, typing cmd, right-clicking then click 'Run as administrator'.

I feel this is the issue because your error message says 'Please try running this command again as root/Administrator'.
