I've been trying and failing to follow the instructions to compile a teleprompter software for my 32-bit computer using the .tar.gz at the link below. The npn version needed must be 2.0 or greater which I don't think can be acquired via Synaptic Package Manager. I got around that by following a YouTube video linked here:

If no-one can be bothered, well, I don't blame you!

When I try to do the final step (6), I get:

You request is nicely worded, but...
this teleprompter app depends on a software stack which is alien to the debian underpinnings of your antiX system.

npm is absent from debian.
a"suitably new" version of nodejs is absent from debian so, predictably,
suitable versions (if any) of all the further nested prerequisite components are probably absent from the debian ecosystem as well.

Description: package manager for Node.js
 Node.js is an event-based server-side javascript engine.
 .
 npm is the package manager for the Node JavaScript platform.  It puts
 modules in place so that node can find them, and manages dependency conflicts intelligently.
 .
 It is extremely configurable to support a wide variety of use cases.
 Most commonly, it is used to publish, discover, install, and develop node programs.
