Issue with npm install SortableJS in MeteorJS project

[Sergeyamir]

Could you tell me what may be the cause of the problem in installing sortable js with npm command? I see this error in JSON:

netx:~/workspace/app (master) $ meteor npm install sortablejs --save
npm ERR! Unexpected token } in JSON at position 11280
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/ubuntu/.npm/_logs/2018-12-06T10_09_36_253Z-debug.log

What the JSON file has that unexpected token?
The mentioned complete log does not give the file name:
