How to fix it?
First of all, node v0.10.25 is REALLY old (23.01.2014). Also npm 1.3.10 ... please update node/npm to a more recent version (node: 8 or 10, npm: 5.6):
https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
Second: As the error message tells, it is a certificate error. Reasons for that migth be the outdated versions ...
