Meteor fails to install on local machine

I tried installing the meteor executable file on my local machine. meteor --version turned up nothing on the command line. I then tried npm install meteor on powershell and got this:

The same command on Git Bash turned the same result. How can this be resolved? I should note that I tried "run as administrator" for powershell and git bash.
