Npm message gulp not compatible with your operating system

Hi there, trying to get gulp loaded on my laptop but got the following :

npm message gulp not compatible with your operating system

Any ideas please

Can you describe the steps that I need to perform to install/test this problem?

Thanks for the reply. Managed to get up and running thanks to the tecadmin website and the install instruction on gulp.

I ended up installing ruby (though not too sure if I actually needed ruby), then npm https://tecadmin.net/install-latest-nodejs-npm-on-ubuntu/

followed by gulp

Thanks
