gyp ERR! and npm ERR! while running sudo npm install

Question

I am working on a web application project. I reinstalled my ubuntu for some problem. I am using nodejs in the backend. I deleted the node_modules folder. So I run command sudo npm install and got the long error. I have tried reinstalling npm , nodejs , node-gyp again and again but there was no exact outcome and still getting the same errors.

There is a command sudo apt-get install g++ build-essential . I did this but this g++ build-essential is already installed the latest update.

So, what could be the reason of this error I'm not getting.

void@void:~/Documents/github/luvmusic$ sudo npm install

You're using a older version of GCC for compiling your project. If you're on Ubuntu 16.04 this might help to you

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc-7.1
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7
gcc-7 --version

Don't forget to make a symbolic link to gcc-7 to gcc and g++-7 to g++ as default gcc and g++
