Hi everybody,

for quite a time now we desperately try to upgrade our Mahara system running on Ubuntu 22.04.5 from version 24.04.10 to 25.04.1 (25.04_STABLE branch) using the git repo code.

In the past we already occasionally experienced issues regarding the in our case needed "make"-commands, especially the "make css", but were able to "fix" it by experimenting with node versions.

But now we are stuck with "make css" throwing following error:

ORGANISING JS DEPENDENCIES...
Found '/var/www/mahara/master/.nvmrc' with version <20>
v20.19.4 is already installed.
Now using node v20.19.4 (npm v10.8.2)
[16:31:43] Unsupported gulp version
make: *** [Makefile:122: css] Error 1


Some help would make us very happy :)
Alex
