I am using npm version 2.15.1 and node version v4.4.3 .

Answer 1

You have an invalid version of your app. The version should contain of 3 parts, whereas you have 4:

"version": "0.1.2.0"

Update the version to this and it should work fine:

"version": "0.1.2"

NPM is using semver which has 3 (not four) parts in the version (major, minor and patch) divided by dot sign.
