Fail npm install (at the [email protected] install 'node-gyp rebuild')

I'm trying to reprogram a dash button to send an SMS to a phone. The task I am trying to attempt is located here: https://github.com/sanzgiri/dash-sms. Below is a copy of the error message I've been getting. Any insight is much appreciated. I'm using Ubuntu version 16 in a virtual machine.

rebecca@rebecca-VirtualBox:~$ sudo npm install node-dash-button

> [email protected] install /home/rebecca/node_modules/socketwatcher
> node-gyp rebuild

Had the same issue and nothing would work. Finally had to go to node 0.10.26 on the pi.

Used NVM instead of direct node install.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.1/install.sh | bash

nvm install 0.10.26

I believe the code is confugure to work with "node" instead of "nodejs". You can setup a simlink or just run this command. It solved the issue for me.

sudo apt install nodejs-legacy
