Node -expat install error on ubuntu VM

I could not find anything else to solve my problems, did I read everything on Google and still did not answer, did anyone have problems installing this package and could it be solved? I need help with this.

'.node-gyp/0.10.24/common.gypi not found' suggests that something went wrong when node-gyp tried to set the nodejs 0.10.24 headers.

Delete the directory /home/ubuntu/.node-gyp and try again.
