Node-sass installation failure

[mcdevlog]

I have been trying to install node-sass but had no sucseess. Using latest version of node and npm.

I have a similar issue on Linux Rasbian.

I've spent today trying to troubleshoot, but I'm giving up now and posting here.

@gogomartin This is not the same issue: you are using an ancient version of node-sass and the newest version of node, that won't work. Please upgrade.

@Mohit127 it seems this yet another instance of #1283 - let's follow up there
