In my Meteor app, I’m using Brain.js and on my local machine, all works fine, and I can build the app. However, when I deploy on my server, I get the following:
[email protected] install /home/strael/bundle/programs/server/npm/node_modules/gl
prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild
prebuild-install warn install libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I found an answer explaining that I could install libXext, but I do not understand why is that when I do not need that locally?
