Contrary to my previous email, pip installed kallithea system wide in
/usr/local
Oh. That means it must have been installed as root. I guess we should
clarify documentation to say something like:
Kallithea should not be installed or run as root. It is generally
recommended
to create a ``kallithea`` user (and perhaps a corresponding group). The
hosted repositories will live in the file system as the user Kallithea is
running as. For some setups, it might be most convenient to use the
web server
user, but web servers generally allow web applications to run as other
users.
pip and npm running as root might leave bits and pieces all over the
system, mixed up with package manager files.
So I deleted this directory and run the command again
This is the error

A npm-normalize-package-bin in that place looks like your system npm
somehow was used to install another npm inside node_modules. And
apparently your 'node' uses an old javascript version that doesn't
support this installed npm.
-
It seems like your installation somehow got off track and you thus got
on a bumpy road. At this point I would suggest reinstalling Ubuntu (to
get an easy cleanup after the things done as root) and start over,
keeping records of which choices and commands you use - that will make
it easier to help if you should encounter problems again.
