npm 3 is ancient. Can you try with npm 6, or upgrade node to 10+ and npm to 7 latest?

I updated to the latest versions with:

npm install -g npm@latest

Re-running it shows a similar error.

npm ERR! npm v3.5.2

@Z33M00N It looks like running that command again still used npm v3. I'm going to close this issue as we don't support npm 3. You can try these installation instructions to update your node/npm versions.
