@KnockKnockNe0 it's not clear to me why it failed (some missing dependency?). I'm able to build on Ubuntu 18.04 with Node 8.15.

OK i got it 'node' was missing so i linked it to 'nodejs'

$ ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

then i got this:

Package 'gnome-keyring-1', required by 'world', not found
gyp: Call to 'pkg-config --libs-only-l gnome-keyring-1' returned exit status 1 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp

this fixed it:

$ apt install libgnome-keyring-dev
$ pkg-config --libs-only-l gnome-keyring-1
-lgnome-keyring -lglib-2.0
