Seems like an issue with your environment or node installation, as I've definitely installed this on an Ubuntu system, and it builds fine on Travis (Linux environment).

It looks like you're installing globally (using the -g flag) which is not intended usage. Maybe try installing the package locally and see if that resolved the issue?

I tried installing locally, but get the same error.

fsevents is a package ONLY for OS X. I believe the issue here is that the shrink wrapping for parallax-scroll includes fsevents. The long term fix is to not include the dev deps in the shrink wrapping. A short term fix is to install using the --no-shrinkwrap option.
