Gentoo install of Publii from Git

Hi to all,

I have downloaded publii from git on my gentoo hardrive. I cd’ed to the /home/steve/Publii directory and ran “npm install”.

I had then cd’ed to the app folder and ran “npm install” again. After that, I did “cd ..” to go back to  the root directory, and then ran

“npm run dev”

But I get this error when I do:

steve@mernivia ~/Publii $ npm run dev

> Publii@0.37.2 dev /home/steve/Publii
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development webpack –mode=development –progress –colors –watch

[webpack-cli] Unknown argument: –colors
? Which flags do you want to use? …
✔ –entry: The entry point(s) of your application e.g. ./src/main.js
✔ –config: Provide path to a webpack configuration file e.g. ./webpack.config.js
✔ –color: Enable/Disable colors on console
✔ –merge: Merge two or more configurations using webpack-merge e.g. -c ./webpack.config.js -c ./webpack.test.config.js –merge
✔ –progress: Print compilation progress during build
✔ –help: Outputs list of supported flags
✔ –output-path: Output location of the file generated by webpack e.g. ./dist/
✔ –target: Sets the build target e.g. node
✔ –watch: Watch for files changes
✔ –hot: Enables Hot Module Replacement
✔ –devtool: Determine source maps to use
✔ –prefetch: Prefetch this request
✔ –json: Prints result as JSON or store it in a file
✔ –mode: Defines the mode to pass to webpack
✔ –version: Get current version
✔ –stats: It instructs webpack on how to treat the stats e.g. verbose
✔ –env: Environment passed to the configuration when it is a function
✔ –name: Name of the configuration. Used when loading multiple configurations.
✔ –config-name: Name of the configuration to use
✔ –analyze: It invokes webpack-bundle-analyzer plugin to get bundle information
✔ –amd: You can pass `false` to disable AMD support.
✔ –bail: Report the first error as a hard error instead of tolerating it.
✔ –cache: Enable in memory caching. Disable caching.
✔ –cache-type: In memory caching. Filesystem caching.
✔ –cache-cache-directory: Base directory for the cache (defaults to node_modules/.cache/webpack).
✔ –cache-cache-location: Locations for the cache (defaults to cacheDirectory / name).
✔ –cache-hash-algorithm: Algorithm used for generation the hash (see node.js crypto package).
✔ –cache-idle-timeout: Time in ms after which idle period the cache storing should happen (only for store: ‘pack’ or ‘idle’).
✔ –cache-idle-timeout-for-initial-store: Time in ms after which idle period the initial cache storing should happen (only for store: ‘pack’ or ‘idle’).
✔ –cache-immutable-paths: A path to a immutable directory (usually a package manager cache directory).
✔ –cache-immutable-paths-reset: Clear all items provided in configuration. List of paths that are managed by a package manager and contain a version or hash in its path so all files are immutable.
✔ –cache-managed-paths: A path to a managed directory (usually a node_modules directory).
✔ –cache-managed-paths-reset: Clear all items provided in configuration. List of paths that are managed by a package manager and can be trusted to not be modified otherwise.
✔ –cache-name: Name for the cache. Different names will lead to different coexisting caches.
✔ –cache-store: When to store data to the filesystem. (pack: Store data when compiler is idle in a single file).
✔ –cache-version: Version of the cache data. Different versions won’t allow to reuse the cache and override existing content. Update the version when config changed in a way which doesn’t allow to reuse cache. This will invalidate the cache.
✔ –context: The base directory (absolute path!) for resolving the `entry` option. If `output.pathinfo` is set, the included pathinfo is shortened to this directory.
✔ –dependencies: References to another configuration to depend on.
✔ –dependencies-reset: Clear all items provided in configuration. References to other configurations to depend on.
✔ –entry-reset: Clear all items provided in configuration. All modules are loaded upon startup. The last one is exported.

✔ –experiments-async-web-assembly: Support WebAssembly as asynchronous EcmaScript Module.
✔ –experiments-output-module: Allow output javascript files as module source type.
✔ –experiments-sync-web-assembly: Support WebAssembly as synchronous EcmaScript Module (outdated).

✔ –externals: Every matched dependency becomes external. An exact matched dependency becomes external. The same string is used as external dependency.
✔ –externals-reset: Clear all items provided in configuration. Specify dependencies that shouldn’t be resolved by webpack, but should become dependencies of the resulting bundle. The kind of the dependency depends on `output.libraryTarget`.
✔ –externals-presets-electron: Treat common electron built-in modules in main and preload context like ‘electron’, ‘ipc’ or ‘shell’ as external and load them via require() when used.
✔ –externals-presets-electron-main: Treat electron built-in modules in the main context like ‘app’, ‘ipc-main’ or ‘shell’ as external and load them via require() when used.
✔ –externals-presets-electron-preload: Treat electron built-in modules in the preload context like ‘web-frame’, ‘ipc-renderer’ or ‘shell’ as external and load them via require() when used.
✔ –externals-presets-electron-renderer: Treat electron built-in modules in the renderer context like ‘web-frame’, ‘ipc-renderer’ or ‘shell’ as external and load them via require() when used.
✔ –externals-presets-node: Treat node.js built-in modules like fs, path or vm as external and load them via require() when used.
✔ –externals-presets-nwjs: Treat NW.js legacy nw.gui module as external and load it via require() when used.
✔ –externals-presets-web: Treat references to ‘http(s)://…’ and ‘std:…’ as external and load them via import when used (Note that this changes execution order as externals are executed before any other code in the chunk).
✔ –externals-presets-web-async: Treat references to ‘http(s)://…’ and ‘std:…’ as external and load them via async import() when used (Note that this external type is an async module, which has various effects on the execution).
✔ –externals-type: Specifies the default type of externals (‘amd*’, ‘umd*’, ‘system’ and ‘jsonp’ depend on output.libraryTarget set to the same value).
✔ –ignore-warnings: A RegExp to select the warning message.
✔ –ignore-warnings-file: A RegExp to select the origin file for the warning.
