Hi Guys!
First of all thank you for all your work & sharing NodeBB with us!
It is my "first ever install" of NodeBB therefore I might have done some elementary mistakes. I was following steps from the documentation below, unfortunately I did not managed to get to the point of "working setup NodeBB screen".

[benchpressjs] Unable to build or find a suitable native module, falling back to JS version
2018-12-15T16:36:25.746Z [2912] - info: NodeBB Setup Triggered via Command Line
Welcome to NodeBB v1.11.1!
This looks like a new installation, so you'll have to answer a few questions about your environment before we can proceed.
Press enter to accept the default setting (shown in brackets).
URL used to access this NodeBB (http://localhost:4567)

Access to setup

Questions
1.) Why there are so many warnings & deprecated notices? Is that normal? Should I use different version of nodejs?
2.) Is that secure "found 5 vulnerabilities (1 low, 4 moderate)"?
3.) Why I am not able to access "http://localhost:4567" using curl from the same machine ... what is necessary to improve in my installation process?
4.) As in the future I will be using Nginx to reverse proxy to "http://localhost:4567" ... which user should I use to start NodeBB? www-data? root? other?
Thank you very much for your help!
Cheers!
