Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

What are you trying to install this on? linux, mac, windows, sandwich?

[cben0ist]

Good question. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[endoplasmic]

Sadly I've got to head out for the next week-ish, but I'll see about spinning up a VM and giving that a whirl (unless someone else gets to it before then) Could you also try using node 8 vs. 10? I have only been using this on LTS vs. current. (and it looks like grpc isn't supported on node 10 and linux by the error)

[cben0ist]

OK, that was definitely my node version. I should not have updated to other than LTS. I will know now...
Thank you all for your help.
