AWS EB deploying Node app: failed to run npm install

I am trying to deploy my node app to AWS. It won't even let me deploy the application (stays as Sample Application) using eb deploy.

Version: 64bit Amazon Linux 2016.09 v4.0.1 running Node.js

The logs say

Failed to run npm install

But am not too sure what else they're asking me to do to fix it. I can npm install just fine locally:
