Install failed on Ubuntu 22.04

cat

My NodeBB installation is failing on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 digitalocean's droplet. I've googled but I found nothing helps.

/home/septian/nodebb/src/cli/package-install.js:138
                throw e;
                ^

  output: [ null, null, null ],

  stdout: null,
  stderr: null
}

I have no idea what's this error is about. And when I try to run ./nodebb setup command again, it is now refusing to do so and give different error.

Dependencies outdated or not yet installed.
Installing them now...

Node.js v18.17.0

Anyone can help? Thanks

After rechecking, and redoing the same steps with new droplet with bigger RAM, it works. So I guess it's because I was using the $4 vps and the ram wasn't enough

Do you get errors when you run npm i lodash in the nodebb directory?

I will say that we only test the $6 droplet (used to be 5).
