in coming years
(KA Lite is the famous learning tool for Khan Academy videos & self-quizzes).

Two people have hit so-far-unexplained problems with "npm 5.6.0" unable
to build the Node.js stuff for Sugarizer on RPi 3 and RPi 3 B+ ("cd /opt/iiab/sugarizer-server" then "npm install" fails and/or runs out of memory on certain RPi 3's but not others, despite seemingly identical conditions). If Node experts can help out on Raspberry Pi, that'd be super awesome, please shout or write me privately! <b>Lionel: will an <a href="https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer-server/releases" target="_blank">official v1.0.1 of sugarizer-server</a> be possible in coming days, so IIAB 6.6 is can become even more stable, instead of driving off of sugarizer-server's master branch?</b> In any case: we can release IIAB 6.6 Preview 2 later in the week if that proves necessary to refine Sugarizer on Raspbian.
