NPM Install Error - RHEL 7.9

[nuhghets]

Hello,

I am attempting to upgrade minemeld and have been running into an NPM install error. We are running on RHEL 7.9. Attempted to increase ram to 8GB. Attempted to upgrade/install NPM dependencies. Still failing on NPM install step.

Actually we were able to resolve this by not completely deleting everything from the /www directory.

My linux sysadmin kept : /opt/minemeld/www/webui/node_modules/node-sass

We were then able to bypass that binary and successfully complete the install. Apparently node-sass is deprecated?

IDK. Happy to say we are now on 0.9.70.
