Trouble installing quill locally

[grueneedv]

I followed the setup infos (which in my opinion are very reduced) to get quill locally running. After running git clone https://github.com/techx/quill and npm install on a Centos 6.9 I got the message:

node-sass@3.14.0-0 install /var/www/html/quill/node_modules/gulp-sass/node_modules/node-sass
node scripts/install.js
/var/www/html/quill/node_modules/request/node_modules/hawk/node_modules/boom/lib/index.js:5
const Hoek = require('hoek');

Any hints how to resolve this? Whats the preferred system it runs on locally?

I just tried an install on Centos 6.9 x64 and you might look into upgrading your gcc compiler. I believe the default is 4.4 and node-sass requires 4.6+.

I was able to upgrade gcc to 7.2 with the following commands from SoftwareCollections:
sudo yum install centos-release-scl
sudo yum install devtoolset-7
scl enable devtoolset-7 bash

Thanks for the reply, that helped me getting further.
I changed in .env the database string to DATABASE='mongodb://localhost:27017' and now I'm stuck running gulp server with the message:

gulp server

I tried with the usual bash and with the devtoolset-7 bash, same result. At this point here the question again: Whats the preferred system it runs on locally?

What version of node are you running? Try upgrading to 8.9.
Node is pretty universal - there's not really a 'preferred system'. If you really want to try another distro I'd suggest Ubuntu.

Thanks again for the reply and help. I just run yum install npm which installed a nodejs Version 0.10.4? or something. After adding the node repro and installing 9.6.1 it worked.
So the installation instructions should be extended, and as requirements should be added you need NodeJS Version 8 at and a gcc > 4.6. at least?
