Hopefully you found an answer in the last 6 months, but in case anyone is still running into this problem, here are some options:

Update Node + NPM

If you installed Node.js through the official 12.04 repositories (which looks like the case, from this line: node -v v0.6.17), your Node version is badly out of date by now.

Back in late February, shortly before this question was posted, npm stopped supporting self-signed certificates. As a result, lots of people working on Node projects ran into similar issues. The fix? Update npm.

For instructions on upgrading, see this question on AskUbuntu. Personally, I recommend managing Node versions using NVM, but you can also get the latest version via PPA.

Living behind a proxy

It's also possible to run into issues like these if you're trying to access the npm repository from behind a proxy (e.g. at a corporate office). While this is less likely to be your issue, it can be solved by the following (taken from here):

npm config set proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080
npm config set https-proxy http://proxy.company.com:8080

You can also set a proxy for a single npm install command by running:

npm --https-proxy=http://proxy.company.com install express -g

Don't disable SSL checks

It's true that you can suppress the error by setting npm's strict-ssl setting to false. Disabling security warnings is a bad idea.

Try setting:

npm config set strict-ssl false
