Newer versions of npm are not supported

[ts-web]

The package.json file specifies a single version of npm: "1.1.24".

I have npm version 2.7.4. When I try to install seal with npm i seal -g, I get this error:

npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.1.7601
npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\\\node.exe" "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "i" "seal" "-g"
npm ERR! node v0.12.2
npm ERR! npm  v2.7.4

npm ERR! version not found: [email protected]

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR!     C:\redacted\npm-debug.log

I am wondering, why does it specify a single version? Is there incompatibility with the newer versions of npm?

Using npm 3, this is the error I get:
