Step "install node dependencies" fails

Hello! I’m trying to install an Open edX tagged with “open-release/lilac.master” and running into an issue.

I’m stuck at “install node dependencies” step of “native.sh” script taken from step 5 of this instruction. I can see that it’s something related to installing node-sass. As long as I am confused and don’t know how to dig into this problem, I don’t have any useful information and only submitting my system details and the log file. If it’s not enough and you need something specific, I’ll add it.

Your environment:
    OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/lilac.master
    LC_TERMINAL_VERSION=3.4.15
    PATH=/home/centeradmin/.nvm/versions/node/v11.15.0/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
    NVM_BIN=/home/centeradmin/.nvm/versions/node/v11.15.0/bin

OS version:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

I can’t attach log file to the message, so I uploaded it to google drive.

Thank you!

Seems from the log file you are usign node 16

7247 verbose node v16.15.0
7248 verbose npm v8.5.5

But however the documents/snippest you are referring to is asking to use node 11.
Check your node version prior to installtion with node -v also make sure you are using npm version crossponing to the node version. Consider using nvm.sh to easily jump between node/npm versions.

Yes, I thought it’s because of node version, but I have deleted it and verified my node command doesn’t work. Probably, I haven’t done it properly. I am going to achieve having necessary node version in this error log or, if anything is ok besides the issue, install Open edX and return with feedback.

Thank you for an answer!
