Plesk install npm packages Error

Question

I created an API that use hummus.js modules. Localy tested -> Works fine.

Now I uploaded my API and try to run npm install to install all dependencies. But I got this Error:

npm-Installation
Execution filemng has failed with exit code 1, stdout:

npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.
npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:

The Error come from the hummus-js package. So I want to try install node-gyp ( npm install -g node-gyp ). But I don't know how? In Plesk I canno't install a single module. When I try it with ssh i got:

command NPM not found

I'm a Server-Admin-Noob so I'm happy for every Help!

Greetings

If I assumed correctly, it boils down to you not having Node installed on your other machine. SSH into the machine, then, for debian and ubuntu-based OS run

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

(assuming, again, that you wanted Node 8.x), then run

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

and for CentOS and other enterprise Linux OS:

curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
sudo yum -y install nodejs
sudo yum install gcc-c++ make

Then try redoing what you did.
