Does not install or run on redhat linux

[dlandtaa]

What is wrong?

Cannot install or run on redhat linux (amazon ec2 instance running amazon linux)

Linux version 4.14.294-220.533.amzn2.aarch64 (mockbuild@ip-10-0-52-76)
(gcc version 7.3.1 20180712 (Red Hat 7.3.1-15) (GCC)) #1 SMP Thu Sep 29 01:01:24 UTC 2022

Where does it happen?

Inside ec2 amazon linux instance

How do we replicate the issue?

1. Create new ec2 instance running amazon linux
2. npm init
3. npm instal brain.js

 npm i brain.js

The logs indicate you are missing some packages. Try sudo dnf install libX11-devel libXi-devel libXext-devel

Please note that even after these all dependencies are installed, you may still run into other problems due to the headless-gl dependency. For more details, see:
