npm install for Hyperledger Tutorial Fails

I am currently working on a fresh minimal install of Ubuntu 16.0.4 using Hyperledger Fabric. I have pulled down a fresh install of the fabric samples from the Hyperledger documentation site. I have downloaded the following software:

node version 6.9.5
npm version 3.10.10
docker version 17.03.2-ce
golang version 1.7.6 (documentation now calls for newer version, but I think this is unrelated)

I can navigate to the fabcar directory which contains the default npm package.json. I first run ./startFabric as indicated in the instructions. I then run npm install, per the instructions. I then get the error: 

u@ubmin2:~/fabric-samples/fabcar$ npm install  
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This package is no longer supported. It's  now a built-in Node module. If you've depended on crypto, you should switch  to the one that's built-in.

> npm run build  


> [email protected] build /home/u/fabric-samples/fabcar/node_modules/pkcs11js  
> node-gyp configure build

Based on that, it appears that there is a missing pkcs11js module that needs to be included. When I add that module to the package.json file, remove the node_modules file and rerun the "npm install," the error shifts to:

Does anyone understand why npm install is failing to run as expected?

------UPDATE------ in response to christo4ferris, sorry, I should have shown that as well. I've tried many things including installing and removing make. when I install make, I still get an error: 

npm WARN [email protected] No repository field.
npm ERR! Linux 4.4.0-96-generic
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/node/bin/node" "/usr/local/node/bin/npm" "install"

And then, when I run as sudo us to run as root, I get this error message:

The issue was that I was missing a necessary c++ compiler. It seems it was not included in the Ubuntu minimal installation, which makes sense, but the errors seemed very opaque. Running sudo apt install build-essential g++ seems to have solved the problem.

I'm not sure if it was necessary, but I also needed to add alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH' to my .bashrc file so I could run npm with sudo. That solution came from this link.
