Fail on npm install

[Deleted user]

Hey! It's me again, I've got vimflowy running on my laptop just fine. But now am having trouble getting it setup on my desktop. Both systems are running Kubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Here's the output when I run sudo npm install

See sass/node-sass#1098 and angular/angular-cli#6848.

If those threads don't help, then it's possible this is a result of b3795be. Could you try going back to before that commit and reinstalling packages?

Let me know how it goes!
