Linux Node WebApp installation is failing

[MonetenBube]

Hi to everyone! I encounter a small problem when I try to install the latest WebApp version on Linux.

Issue

When I try to install the Linux Node WebApp (commit 1ff2918 or 4c42dc4) I get the following error:

social-analyzer$  npm install
npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM
npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for n@8.2.0: wanted {"os":"win32"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"x64"})
npm ERR! notsup Valid OS:    win32
npm ERR! notsup Valid Arch:  undefined
npm ERR! notsup Actual OS:   linux
npm ERR! notsup Actual Arch: x64

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/test/.npm/_logs/2023-05-06T08_27_10_537Z-debug-0.log

_The 2023-05-06T08_27_10_537Z-debug-0.log is attached. I followed the provided installation guide for the WebApp on Linux._

Workaround

When I switch to a earlier commit for example 607d833 or cd84ba0 the installation is working flawlessly. And I'm able to launch the WebApp.

System

os: Ubuntu 23.04 kernel: 6.2.0-20-generic npm version: 9.2.0 nodejs version: v18.13.0

Thanks for your work!

Thanks a lot and for the quick reply.

npm update did the trick. Maybe it should get included in the installation guide to prevent issues in the future.
