Cannot do npm install on the blog

Hello guys,
I'm trying to run the blog locally. However, when I run npm install, I got the following error:
npm ERR! npm v3.10.9
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! gifsicle@0.1.7 postinstall: `node index.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the gifsicle@0.1.7 postinstall script 'node index.js'.
npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the gifsicle package,
npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR! node index.js

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. Let me know if you need more information for clarification.
I tried reproduced on Ubuntu 14.04 but didn't get the same results. I think this is a problem of the latest version of npm with the package gifsicle. My npm version is 2.5.1 on node version 0.12.0 which is pretty old. The workaround could be taking grunt-contrib-imagemin, which depents on gifsicle, out of packages.json but that is not recommended because we may lack of image manipulation capability.
I still have no plan on upgrading node and npm on my Ubuntu machine soon. However, I will check on MacOS how I managed to run with npm 3.x+.
Thank you for the report. 😄
