The error says it all: Error: "EACCES, mkdir '/var/lib/....'". npm is trying to make a directory with the 'mkdir' command. Normally this needs specific privileges.

Run the npm install with sudo and you should be good to go!

sudo npm install koa --save

Also it is looking for "node":">= 0.11.16","iojs":">= 1.0.0" and you have "node":"v0.11.11"

Try a version manager like so:

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 0.4.12 // replace with the version you want

or you could specify 'stable' to get the latest stable build: 

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n stable
