Running the setup_cpu.sh script on Ubuntu 16.04 fails with errors in npm

Hi,

Just cloned the repo and ran the setup_cpu.sh script as instructed, gives me errors during the build with npm packages. Specifically the ``sass-loaderrequiresnode-sass` >=4. Please install a compatible version`

Command Used:
source setup_cpu.sh

Thanks. I will try to update the files such that the newest sass will be installed. For now, try running npm update sass and then npm run wp. That might work.

Updating sass module did not work, I went down this rabbit hole of fixing individual package dependencies with npm audit etc. and that did not work either.

Fix Used:

Finally, The trick was to installed the older version of nodejs ,

Commands:

conda uninstall nodejs
conda install nodejs==9.11.1 -c conda-forge

which node should give <your conda path>/bin/node
node --version #Just to verify
npm -V #Just to verify

Just a thought, pip freezeing all the python/conda packages for next version would be helpful in replicating.

Thanks @mohammedayub44
I have met the similar problem. And use the older version of nodejs solves this problem.
