Error running npm-install: Failed to install. Mistake! No version
Just got a new hard drive, installed GIT, Mongodb, node and npm, added GIT to PATH and tried to run npm install -g. Here is the complete error message:

I've searched other people with this problem but couldn't find any fixes. here is my package.json file:
{
"name": "node-authentication",
"main": "server.js",
"dependencies" : {
"express" : "~3.4.4",
"ejs" : "~0.8.5",
"mongoose" : "~3.8.1",
"passport" : "~0.1.17",
"passport-local" : "~0.1.6",
"passport-facebook" : "~1.0.2",
"passport-twitter" : "~1.0.2",
"passport-google-oauth" : "~0.1.5",
"connect-flash" : "~0.1.1",
"bcrypt-nodejs" : "latest",
"socket.io" : "0.9.x",
"JSV" : "4.0.x"
}
}
Does anyone know what is causing this error?

You need the version in your package.json as mentioned here: https://www.npmjs.org/doc/files/package.json.html
The most important things in your package.json are the name and versions. These are really necessary and your package won't install without them. The name and version together form an identifier that is considered completely unique.
