[Bug] running npm install result in an error

[pitrackster]

Hi,

First of all what you did is amazing, thx a lot for your work !

I'm trying to install from sources and when I run npm install it results in an error.

• OSC Master branch
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
• npm 8.1.0
• node 16.13.0

From what I found in npm logs this is related to node-sass

4975 timing command:install Completed in 189351ms

So I removed node-sass dependency from package.json execute npm install again and it worked.

Then I installed node-sass npm install node-sass and everything seems to work (I can build assets and launch the app).

The version of node-sass in package.json doesn't support node v16, installing it like you did downloaded the latest version that supports it. The package.json will be updated eventually.

Ok thanks for the answer. Any reason to not update node-sass package to the current version ?

No, I simply don't do automatically to avoid regressions.
