Saleor: Installation on Ubuntu 17.10 Failed at the [email protected] build-assets script 'webpack -p --progress'.

What I'm trying to achieve

I am following the getting started guide using [email protected] and [email protected].

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. On step 7: python manage.py migrate I get the exception: psycopg2.ProgrammingError: permission denied to create extension "hstore" HINT: Must be superuser to create this extension.

I continued on from this step as the database tables were setup.

1. When I reach step 9: Prepare front-end assets and I run npm run build-assets I get the following npm debug log:

Hi!

1. You need to make the saleor db user a superuser;
2. Could you upgrade nodejs to 8.0 or higher and retry?

Upgrading to nodjs to > 8.0 solved my problem, thanks.

Glad to see this resolved
