Hmm. How familiar are you with programming? The issue is with npm link not having permission. But you can just use the script at scripts/hack instead.

That said, this package can really expose your machine if you don't know what you're doing. So I'd be careful... if you couldn't solve this issue yourself, then I'm not sure you should try to use it because you could hurt yourself.

Good luck!

If you're worried about it, you're best bet is to backup your files and clean reinstall the operating system. Given what you said, it could be nothing, or the sky is the limit. You just never know. It's never bad idea to do a credit freeze in case someone finds a picture of your ID or something...
