Problems to install in Ubuntu 16.04

Hi,

I'm trying to install appy without docker. I can install the backend and it is working. However, the frontend has problems installing geckodriver using 'npm install' or 'sudo npm install'.

I found in some blogs different ways to install it like: sudo npm i -g geckodriver --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root or sudo yarn add geckodriver

both install succesfully the geckodriver, but when I start the frontend or when I run again 'npm install' I got the same initial error

geckodriver@1.11.0 postinstall /home/aburbanol/dev/WebApps/appy/frontend/node_modules/geckodriver

node index.js
