im trying to install a nodejs application but I keep getting the same error about “node-gyp” failing to rebuild.
I dont know a lot about nodejs, apart from I can get this to work on my local machine fine but I cant figure out why it wont run on the server.

In the error log:
make: g++: Command not found
The command g++ is not found, so you need to install the g++ package (along with build-essential which includes other packages that are required to build/compile programs):
sudo apt-get install build-essential g++
