This is not enough information, can you please provide the commands you used to install this, the web3js & nodejs version and any other relevant information.

[adriandelgg]

If you're on Linux, make sure to do

$ sudo npm install web3

This error is telling you that the dependencies require Node version 10.0.0 or above, but you're running version 8.10. To fix, you can upgrade to a newer version of Node.
