Ok thank you - I'll create a sudo user and then re-run the installation from scratch.

I've forked and replied to this here - https://community.nodebb.org/topic/13685/trouble-shooting-new-plugins-installed-not-working-what-gives
I didn't want to derail this topic further with my issues.

Due to all the fantastic help available from this great nodeBB community - the above original solution as posted by @The-Worms to my problem, I can now confirm works beautifully! 
We've installed this plugin and it works fine (thank you !!!). However, we've noticed that users can't post a youtube/instagram/etc. link without it being automatically embedded, even if they use the "link" option on the composer. (This option is useful when you want to post a list of youtube links but don't want embedded videos taking up the whole page.) Is there any way to prevent that from happening ?
@Nicolas having this issue with a clean install. any ideas?

@shinyidol I think you install the older version of the plugin.
@shinyidol I'm getting the identical output as your posted log.
I upgraded a clean 1.12.1 nodeBB to 1.12.2 and tried to install this plugin, and it's not appearing. Used plugin manager too.
Got this error

@Nicolas can you provide any help?
I had to install it from command line. It was not working from the GUI.

I haven't installed plugin via cmd line yet, is this the exact method you used?
I tried plugin install via cmd line as per doc.nodebb guide linked above does not seem to have worked.
Terminal spit this out (removed code)
UPDATE: Tried it again, using historical advice from @The-Worms (back up the thread - click here) this time using
Plugins - NodeBB Documentation
sudo npm remove nodebb-plugin-ns-embed
npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-embed
Now I can see the plugin with nBB v1.12.2 and it works too + to have everything in one place next time I forget what I did or anyone else, here is the Twitter code that works for custom embed.
Watch:
(?:<a.*?)?(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:twitter\.com)\/([^\/\"\s]*)\/status\/([^\/\"\s]*)(\/photo\/\d|)(?:.*?\/a>)?
Replace:
<div class='embed-wrapper'>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/$1/status/$2?ref_src=twsrc^tfw"></a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

@omega
Hello I copied this code, but no message appeared for a tweet.
I managed to make work youtube, peertube, vimeo etc... without a problem, even slideshare. But for twitter, I'm wondering if I'm not missing something.
As suggested to me. Did you restart and rebuild or run via cod line - ./nodebb build
After you installed the plugin?
@omega I tried and tried... the problem wasn't the plugin at all, but just my browser security that blocked the twitter's widget tracker.
I'm ashamed to fall in this trap during days. So I reduce my security level and everything is fine now.
Thanks.
