Full setup fails with npm error

[hovinen]

Seems to be related to puppeteer. This is on a fresh checkout from GitHub as of the time of writing (9 April 2024).

OS: Ubuntu 23.10

➜ node --version
v20.12.1

➜ npm --version
10.5.1

Output:

Since puppeteer is a dev dependency, I tried omitting that with --omit dev. Then npm install runs but npm start does not:

➜ npm start

> reveal.js@5.0.5 start
> gulp serve

sh: 1: gulp: not found

So I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

(P.S. Please note that I can't globally downgrade node due to other obligations. But also, since the documentation doesn't give a maximum version of node with which reveal.js is compatible, I wouldn't know to which version to downgrade.)

I also have problems installing
I guess @hovinen s problem with puppeteer is also related to the deprecated gulp-util

seems like one should not use gulp anymore :-S
what do others think about that?
