First time "make dev" results in [db-deploy] Error 1

Hello friends, I am trying to figure out how to get this project running locally on my machine, It seems to stop working after i have installed all dependencies with the "make dev" command.

make: *** [db-deploy] Error 1

I am not too sure what this error is exactly coming from, I feel like I am missing a vital dependency to get this project working. Any help would be appreciated!

Install nodejs in Vagrant fix for me.

[philipithomas]

The dev environment was hacked-together, and is in need of a complete rewrite :-(

I'm no longer maintaining the Staffjoy code. But, I'm leaving this issue open in case the community can help. (Thanks @trungtinhandsome!)

@trungtinhandsome node seems to be already installed in the vagrant? can you please lemme know how you installed it differently? I keep getting the same issue.

@iamtheword Sorry because I am not clear in last comment.
It is running an old version of node.js (verify with node -v, at the time of writing this, the latest lts is 6.x). Please follow this:

Step 1, remove the old packages:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nodejs

Step 2, type the following commands one after the other and follow the screen:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
