[3025] Install fails at opencollective module

Node: 8.10.0 NPM: 5.6.0 OS: RedHat 6.9 (Shared hosting) Local Node Env: NVM and Nodenv both produce the same result

Issue: When attempting to install Nuxt (either manually or using the vue-cli community starter template), the process fails at the opencollective module.

npm ERR! path /home/userx/nuxt/node_modules/opencollective/dist/bin/opencollective.js
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! syscall chmod
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod '/home/userx/nuxt/node_modules/opencollective/dist/bin/opencollective.js'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

Any thoughts on what might be the hangup?

Thanks in advance for any help.
