ERROR! Installing node serialPort On raspberry Pi 3 model b

I am doing an IoT project with raspberry Pi and arduino.in this case I need to work with both WebSocket and SerialPort modules. because those modules are required to communicate with Samsung Artik. but the problem is when I am trying to install serialPort it is getting following error continuously. I looked for all the GitHub forums for the solutions and they were not working. Does anyone get a solution for this? Thanks in advance. refer the error log for node versions and other details.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo -i

SSH is enabled and the default password for the 'pi' user has not been changed.
This is a security risk - please login as the 'pi' user and type 'passwd' to set                                                                                         a new password.

Update npm to the latest release worked for me :

npm install -g npm@latest

and :: "npm install -g --unsafe-perm serialport"

used node and npm version on a raspbian installation when a got the same error you described :

npm ERR! System Linux 4.14.69-v7+
npm ERR! command "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/bin/npm" "install" "serialport"
npm ERR! cwd /var/www/html/plugins/rflink/resources
