I don't know for sure what's up here, but you're using a very old version of Node (0.10) which was EOL'd nearly 5 years ago. The first thing I'd try would be to download nvm (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) and install Node 16 (along with a modern npm - mine is 7.5 FWIW, compared to your 1.4).
That said, if you're a new user it's not clear you really even need to `npm install` in the Closure directory - that doesn't actually "install" it on your system that way (say) a package manager (like brew or apt) does. NPM generally works by installing libraries into a local `node_modules` directory for each project. So probably what you want to do instead is, in your project's directory, `npm init`, followed by `npm install google-closure-library`. Then you can find the Closure sources in the `node_modules/google-closure-library` directory to reference from your own sources.

Thank you Stephen. I thought I had previously updated Node et al. in homebrew, but I suspect some ancient stuff from an old IoT project I worked on gummed up the works and wouldn't allow updates. (I obviously don't use Node elsewhere on a regular basis.) I purged my system of Node and reinstalled the current versions via nvm. Hoist the mainsail!
Apologies to the group for wasting bandwidth on such a rookie problem.
