Issues with NPM : npm ERR! Failed to parse json npm ERR! No data, empty input at 1:1

I am trying to run a project on my local.I have installed npm and nodejs in my computer and try to set the project. The issues arose when I run npm install for the first time. The error message is:

npm ERR! Linux 3.13.0-24-generic
npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/home/aaa/bin/npm" "install"
npm ERR! node v4.4.5
npm ERR! npm  v2.15.5
npm ERR! file /home/aaa/.npm/asynckit/0.4.0/package/package.json
npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE

npm ERR! Failed to parse json
npm ERR! No data, empty input at 1:1
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! ^
npm ERR! File: /home/aaa/.npm/asynckit/0.4.0/package/package.json
npm ERR! Failed to parse package.json data.
npm ERR! package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! This is not a bug in npm.
npm ERR! Tell the package author to fix their package.json file. JSON.parse

And my package.json file is :

``` Did I missed any prerequisite to run the code? or is there any compatibility issue? I have node (4.4.5) version and npm (2.15.5).

Clean the cache first with npm cache clean and then you can run the command without any errors.
