npm install seems to be not correct

Question

I try to install the npm in an Alpine linux container and I get the stack,

$ npm install 

npm WARN prefer global node-gyp@3.6.2 should be installed with -g

As I get quite a few errors (with command failed), I wonder if the npm install is correct or I need to do anything additional?

Answer 1

You need to do

sudo apt-get install autoconf

Before you run npm install as that seems to be an error in autoconf in linux.
