npm not letting me add a tag

I am using the how-to-npm to learn a few basic npm commands. One of the exercises is to add a tag to a module. I am running the following command: npm dist-tag add [email protected] ["hello"], and run into the following error:

0 info it worked if it ends with ok

1 verbose cli   '/home/ubuntu/.nvm/v0.10.35/bin/npm',

It might be instructive to include my package.json file as well:

{
  "name": "@stevenxl/learnyounode",
  "version": "1.1.0",
  "description": "Testing",
  "main": "baby_steps.js",
  "repository": "www.google.com",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "node test.js"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "@linclark/pkg": "^1.0.3"
  }
}

This is a little late but make sure you use the full pkg name and don't forget the @. As in npm dist-tag add @stevenxl/[email protected] ["hello"]
