npm ERR! code EPERM
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local
npm ERR! errno -4048
npm ERR! Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local'

This line looks very odd: npm ERR! path C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local.

Did you perhaps run npm config set prefix /usr/local at some point? It looks like npm is failing on the mkdir command and that this is more of a permissions or configuration issue than a Sanity/Javascript/Express one.

You could try following the instructions of this answer or—if that doesn't work—the cache clean comment here.
