The command node -v outputs v10.24.0:
0

but when I type n i receive:
1

Ah right so yes you are using n.
Ok I need to look at/ fix that.
Generally we advise against using n or nvm as that can cause issues when trying to run as a service ( on boot) but I should at least catch and warn about it.

Looks like node.js 10.24 is expecting npm v6 not v5 so somehow you have a disconnect between npm versions.

84

That is the normal error message you get when using the deb version of nodejs10

85

FYI @dceejay - I changed nothing on the machine and the script now detects everything as expected.

After passing --node14 the script finished without any errors.
