npm error when Installing hyperledger Hurley

Question

Trying to install Hyperledger Hurley on ubuntu 18.04 using this command : sudo npm install -g @worldsibu/hurley --unsafe-perm=true

New ubuntu 18.04 vm with nothing related Hyperledger installed on it. (Is it the issue ??)

I get the following error msg :

gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make gyp ERR! stack at getNotFoundError (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/which.js:13:12) gyp ERR! stack at F (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/which.js:68:19) gyp ERR! stack at E (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/which.js:80:29) gyp ERR! stack at /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/which/which.js:89:16 gyp ERR! stack at /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/isexe/index.js:42:5 gyp ERR! stack at /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/isexe/mode.js:8:5

Error from th npm log file :

18744 verbose stack Error: @ampretia/x509@0.4.0 install: `node-gyp rebuild 18744 verbose stack Exit status 1 18744 verbose stack
at EventEmitter. (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/index.js:326:16) 18744 verbose stack at EventEmitter.emit (events.js:209:13) node-gyp rebuild

Did anybody saw something like that already ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Problem fixed. Replace nodejs v12 by nodejs v8.x

Configure npm to run without sudo rights with :

$ npm config set prefix "~/.npm-global"

$ nano .profile
...
# NPM
 export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
$ source .profile

and than you can install hurley succesfully with:

npm install -g @worldsibu/hurley 

without sudo and without "--unsafe-perm=true"
