For any wanderers stumbling across this - didn't initially work for me.

npm http GET https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxx/flat-ui-pro.tar.gz
npm ERR! fetch failed https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxx/flat-ui-pro.tar.gz
npm info retry will retry, error on last attempt: Error: Hostname/IP doesn't match certificate's altnames

Fixed above error by running npm config set strict-ssl false

Also make sure to copy the link from the Download File button, not the url of the page. I made that mistake.
