Error when installing npm install -g @angular/cli

Question

I am getting this message when running npm install -g @angular/cli:

npm WARN optional Skipping failed optional dependency /@angular/cli/chokidar/fsevents: npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: [email protected]

My Node is v8.10.0, Npm version is 3.5.2 and my operating system is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Could anybody help ?

Thanks

Try npm install --no-optional...

You need a higher version of both Node and npm. From the docs:

Both the CLI and generated project have dependencies that require Node 8.9 or higher, together with NPM 5.5.1 or higher.

As mentioned by @DaltonCézane npm install --no-optional might also help you:

The --no-optional argument will prevent optional dependencies from being installed.
