Gitlab CI with Docker and NPM

I'm trying to setup a basic pipeline in Gitlab that does the following: Run tests command, compile the client and deploy the application using docker-compose.

The problem comes when I'm trying to use npm install.

My .gitlab-ci.yml file looks like:

# This file is a template, and might need editing before it works on your 
project.
# Official docker image.
image: docker:latest

services:
  - docker:dind

stages:
 - test
 - build
 - deploy

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - cd packages/public/client/
    - npm install --only=production
    - npm run build
test:
  stage: test
  only:
    - develop
    - production
  script:
    - echo run tests in this section

step-deploy-production:
  stage: deploy
  only:
    - production
script:
  - docker-compose up -d --build
environment: production
when: manual

And the error is:

Skipping Git submodules setup
$ cd packages/public/client/
$ npm install --only=production
bash: line 69: npm: command not found
ERROR: Job failed: exit status 1

I'm using the last docker image, so, I'm wondering whether I can define a new service on my build stage or should I use a different image for the whole process?

Thanks

A new service will not help you, you'll need to use a different image. You can use a node image just for your build-stage like this:

build: image: node:8 stage: build script: - cd packages/public/client/ - npm install --only=production - npm run build
