I receive node-pre-gyp ERR! error too, but everything seem to work well anyway.
I'd like to know too if this can be ignored or...

[MyOnlyGH]

We too faced the same issue. We being behind a firewall were using proxies but still that error. Because of this error we are not able to proceed with CI as it fails npm install task

[manish7singh]

I also faced the same issue while installing angular-cli-beta17 on a new system.
FIX:

1. I went through the logs and manually updated each of the packages (graceful-fs, minimatch, lodash etc..) to there updated version.
2. Installed git on my system (From my past experience) as this is also a reason for cli install failure.

After this it installed without any errors.

Ugh. Too much time wasted chasing compatibility issues.
