Made a video on how to setup the Cardano-SL and Daedalus wallet on Google Cloud VM / Linux

Might be useful for the beginners and to prep for the PoS

What am I doing wrong and how can i fix it?

Thanks very much for your help

Hey Jack,

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

Thanks for the quick reply, I am using Ubuntu 17.10

Ok in the install folder can you try

npm update

This should install all the dependencies

I am new to this so please excuse my ignorance but is the install folder here johnnyjackson061@cardano-vm-1:~/daedalus$

It should be the folder you cloned the daedalus repo in. That looks about right

After I update it how can i check to make sure the errors are fixed?

I am sorry for all of the questions but really appreciate your help

So after the update run

npm install

and see if you still get the same problems

unfortunately, I still get the same error after running the update and then the install command.
here is what was displayed

not sure what to do but greatly appreciate any help you can provide

Mmm could be a 32bit VS 64bit issue

are these the correct versions that should be installed?

npm version
3.5.2
node version
v6.11.4
