Unable to install

[illarionds]

Hi, first time poster and no expert on Linux, so please excuse any rookie mistakes! (And indeed apologies if this is the wrong place for this)

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, and all I have otherwise done on it since installation is install Home Assistant.

I have followed the instructions at https://github.com/maddox/dasher, but got stuck (I believe) due to a different/conflicting version of nodejs.

A more Linux savvy friend walked me through purging npm, nodejs and nodejs-legacy, and after that I can get as far as npm install without errors. But when I actually try and run dasher, I get the following log.

My friend believes everything is sorted with the dependencies, and this bit in the log is accurate:

23 error Failed at the dasher@1.4.1 start script 'node app.js'.
23 error Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
23 error If you do, this is most likely a problem with the dasher package,
23 error not with npm itself.
23 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
23 error node app.js

npm-debug.log

Very appreciative if anyone can help!

dasher@1.4.1 start /home/pi/dasher
node app.js
