Error installing my published package in npm registry - Errorno - 4058. No such file or directory main.js error

I created a sample package and published it into npm registry under my own npm account. Name of my package is newtestmay. Now when I try to install it using the command npm install newtestmay I get below error. I've copied the error level logs out of the entire log from npm-debug.log file which got created by npm in the root of my package where I'm trying to install the package:

128 error Windows_NT 6.1.7601

129 error argv "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" "install" "newtestmay"

130 error node v6.9.1

131 error npm v3.10.8

132 error path D:\rbt\math_user\node_modules\newtestmay\main.js

133 error code ENOENT

134 error errno -4058

135 error syscall chmod

136 error enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod 'D:\rbt\math_user\node_modules\newtestmay\main.js'

137 error enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod 'D:\rbt\math_user\node_modules\newtestmay\main.js'

137 error enoent This is most likely not a problem with npm itself

137 error enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file.

138 verbose exit [ -4058, true ]

package.json of my newtestmay package which I had published:

{
  "name": "newtestmay",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "an example of creating a package",
  "main": "bin/main.js",
  "bin": {
    "mathexample22may": "main.js"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "math",
    "example",
    "addition",
    "subtraction",
    "multiplication",
    "division",
    "fibonacci"
  ],
  "author": "rasik210",
  "license": "ISC"
}

Directory structure of my package:

enter image description here

Code of main.js:

var path = require('path');
var fs = require('fs');
var lib = path.join(path.dirname(fs.realpathSync(__filename)), '../lib');
var simple = require(lib + '/simple_math.js');
var advanced = require(lib + '/advanced_math.js');
module.exports = {
addition: simple.addition,
subtraction: simple.subtraction,
multiplication: advanced.multiplication,
division: advanced.division,
fibonacci: advanced.fibonacci
}

I'm not able to understand as to why NPM is unable to see main.js which was present in the bin directory when I had published the package.

Simple typo: The bin object of package.json is all relative to the root of the project. In this case, it should be:

{
    ...
    "bin": {
      "mathexample22may": "./bin/main.js"
    },
    ...
}
