Re: [Gmod-ajax] JBrowse installation failed (node_modules dir not found)

[Colin <col...@gm...>]

you will likely need to use an older node version, version 14 or less (your
log says you are using node 17). this is a known issue that is mentioned in
the README

the readme note says

Note: if you are using plugins with a dev version of JBrowse or installing
from GitHub, you may need to use node <=14 (e.g. node >=15 may fail) due to
node-sass not compiling on newer node versions easily. See
https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse/pull/1607 for details
