When running npm install after cloning on Ubuntu:

If your error includes

info TOOL Using Unix Makefiles generator.
info DIST Downloading distribution files.
http DIST 	- https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.4.0/SHASUMS256.txt
http DIST 	- https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.4.0/node-v14.4.0-headers.tar.gz
info REP Build has been failed, trying to do a full rebuild.
ERR! OMG CMake executable is not found. Please use your system's package manager to install it, or you can get installers from there: http://cmake.org.

You need to run sudo apt install cmake.

If your error includes:

Then you need to install some OpenGL libs (answer found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58787687/qt-5-12-failed-to-find-gl-gl-h-in-usr-include-libdrm)
sudo apt install mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Presumably this should be added to the docs I guess? It's there, I missed it.
