Description

When running npm install in ui/frontend i get the following error:

npm ERR! notsup Unsupported

npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.0.12
npm ERR! notsup Valid OS:    darwin
npm ERR! notsup Valid Arch:  any
npm ERR! notsup Actual OS:   linux
npm ERR! notsup Actual Arch: x64

As mentioned in the github repos of fsevents https://github.com/strongloop/fsevents/issues/134, fsevents is OSX only. I'm not sure how to proceed :)

Research direction

Start in ui/frontend by inspecting the npm dependency configuration and running npm install on Linux to reproduce the fsevents@1.0.12 error. Trace which dependency requests fsevents and adjust the dependency configuration so installation completes on Linux while preserving supported macOS behavior.
