npm install of Next.js from github fails

When trying to npm install zeit/nextjs from Github directly it fails with the following exception.

I get the same error both when running in a docker instance and directly in osx, and both on Node 5.2 and 7.2. First time I'm installing directly from GitHUB, so I don't know if I'm missing something important?

edit

npm install next

works as expected, but does not contain the latest package.json that is needed for Docker

end edit

Not sure why it doesn't work from github but you can do this to install the latest beta from npm:

npm i --save next@^2.0.0-beta

Installing the package by name installs it just fine but through github it throws errors. It must be a problem with the current version at Github.

npm i next          // works
npm i zeit/next.js  // doesn't work
