Usually the `new` command will run `npm install` itself. Something failed in project creation, I guess, which produced that error.

```
pulumi new aws-typescript --dir infrastructure
This command will walk you through creating a new Pulumi project.

Enter a value or leave blank to accept the default, and press &lt;ENTER&gt;.
Press ^C at any time to quit.

Best guess is that NPM doesn't like the project name containing a `/`.

Hmm, ok, can please you file an issue to track this?

In this repo, correct? <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi>
