On debian 10, I work around libxmljs issue by using node 8.x. I saw some have work around it by changing the libxmljs version since those in the genieacs npm install point at a version that don’t exist anymore but I don’t know how to proceed to change that behavior.

can you suggest how to do that??
i have tried a lot but unable to do installation

On following link, you have procedure to install several node version for both Debian and Ubuntu

# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
