I think problem is about trying to install npm without sudo privileges since it gave an access error.

"Error: EACCES, mkdir '/usr/lib/node_modules/webpack'"

you should try to run your command with prefix of "sudo"

sudo "your-command"

Also you can try this command too. npm config set unsafe-perm=true

There is a discussion about this error in github you might want to check it out.
