Errors with npm and gulp on scotchbox (vagrant)

sage
1

I installed SAGE on a fresh installation of Vagrant ScotchBox Machine (OSX 10.11.3 host).
During npm install process, I received output like this:

> gifsicle@3.0.3 postinstall /var/www/public/mapeicadd/node_modules/gifsicle
> node lib/install.js

  ⚠ Couldn't execute the `/var/www/public/mapeicadd/node_modules/gifsicle/vendor/gifsicle` binary. Make sure it has the right permissions.

After that, when I run gulp the process stops with this error:

This is the second time I started from scratch with a new virtual machine, can someone help me?

Thanks!

UPDATE: i moved my theme in a folder different from Scotchbox/VirtualBox shared folder /var/www/public, I ran npm install and gulp and all works fine without errors. Why???

You probably won’t get much help with the Scotch box here, I’d try the Scotch Slack

Thanks @paul_tibbetts, this morning I solved, but i don’t really understood why.

It probably is a permission issue because npm install returns errors in the virtualbox shared folder, but it works in a folder inside the virtual machine. Finally I mounted the shared folder in nfs mode (https://github.com/scotch-io/scotch-box/blob/master/Vagrantfile#L12) and everything worked out perfectly.
