I'm trying to install Speed Test with the following NPM command on my raspberry with the Raspbian operating system

I enter as super user "sudo su"

And I try to install it with the command
root@raspberrypi: /home/pi #npm install speedtest_cli

And gives the following error

`root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# npm install speedtest_cli
npm ERR! 404 Not Found
