make: Leaving directory '/home/pi/node\_modules/node-aead-crypto/build'  
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'  
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'

Those are just warnings so should be ok. But. You seem to just be in the pi directory rather than in the pi/.node-red directory.  
You need to install it in the correct place

You do know that most nodes can now be installed inside of Node-RED using the `Manage Palette` option from the menu?

The `.node-red` directory is hidden. You will need to use `ls -la` to see it or just `cd .node-red` into it.  
But as @ukmoose states, you can install nodes via manage palette.
