Failed at the [email protected] preinstall script './scripts/download'

-edit-
The issue seems to be with the bitcore-node NPM module concerning unsupported i686 architecture. There seems to be a proposed fix, but it has yet to be merged. (bitpay/bitcore-node#486)

I cannot get Bitcore to install on Ubuntu or Whonix. I have successfully gotten it to install on Centos 7 and have finished development of my project, but I would like to deploy on a Debian distro rather than Red Hat. For some reason, NPM will not install Bitcore on the Debian distros specified above. Below are the exact steps that I am performing on a fresh OS install via Virtual Box.

First we have to install NVM, which is a Node.js version manager. Bitcore is reportedly only compatible with Node.js version 4.6.0. We will use NVM to install that version.

https://github.com/creationix/nvm#install-script
sudo apt-get install git-all
sudo curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.1/install.sh | bash

At this point, close and reopen your terminal so that NVM will be detected. To verify NVM has been installed, do..
command -v nvm
Which should output ‘nvm’. Next we’ll install bitcore.

https://bitcore.io/guides/full-node/
nvm install v4.6.0
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev build-essential
npm install -g bitcore

Below is the output that I am getting.

`user@host:~$ npm install -g bitcore

If any other info is needed, I will do my best to provide it.
