looking for actual working directions for genieacs installations on either centos 7 or ubuntu 16 or 18

[Cindy Celata]

Hello Folks,

I was successful til about a month ago using 
https://github.com/genieacs/genieacs/wiki/Installation-Guide-Ubuntu-16.04 
as a base with some minor tweaks and modifications.  And that cheatsheet 
i put together for myself and my coworkers worked great for months.  
Something however has changed in the last month. I keep hitting the same 
issue on ubuntu 16 when i try to npm install genieacs.  Tried the same 
on ubuntu 18, then switched over to CentOS 7 and still hit the same 
problem over and over.

node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not installable for libxmljs at 0.18.8 
and node at 6.14.3 (node-v48 ABI, glibc) (falling back to source compile 
with node-gyp)

I have tried changing out node versions,  tried a whole bunch of node 
versions (6,7,8,10) using nvm install, tried using yarn instead of npm, 
tried compiling from source vs npm install, manually installing and then 
tried cutting bait entirely on ubuntu and moved over to centos7 only to 
find the exact same problem on centos.

i give up, i'm supposed to be testing our tr69 app, not debugging 
installations of genieacs install freeware.  Anyone have any current 
working directions for installing on either centos 7 or ubuntu 16/18 
that actually work, an idea of what is going on and how to get past it? 
Or, how about if i use today's genieacs master code checkout, what 
versions of node, libxml and npm exactly do i need?  If it matters i'm 
using mongo 3.4.18, ruby 2.24, redis 3.2.12.

Truly appreciate the help in advance, and thanks.
