There is an alternative method. You can download ganache from the below link

$https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache/releases/download/v1.2.2/ganache-1.2.2-x86_64.AppImage

After it has downloaded execute the below command in terminal

 $cd Downloads
 $sudo chmod a+x ganache-1.2.2-x86_64.AppImage

Now search for ganache and double click on it and press yes on the pop-up box. Ganache GUI will be started

I guess it is not compatible with node 12.x
I managed to install it with node 10.16.0

I also had to install the following to solve some error messages:

sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4
sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module

  • I had slightly different error message than you had. Perhaps deleting the node_modules directory and do npm install again helps. Especially check the "npm install" errrors and try to fix them. I did the extra apt install' after error messages showed up at npm start.
