I'm trying to install a Share-Button plugin for my mobile app but when I type "npm i --save-dev share-button" I get a long list of GYP error codes. I am only a student and pretty new to programming so I apologize if the answer to my problem is seemingly simple. I tried updating Nodejs, GYP and NPM but so far no luck. These are the errors I'm getting:

Can you place the package.json file in the specified path

and also try upgrade your version of npm

npm install npm -g --ca=null
