I am migrating a Node project that I developed locally on Windows to a remote Linux VM.

I’ve copied all the source .js files and package .json files to the Linux VM (not the node-modules directory), and when I run npm install, I am faced with many node-gyp ERR errors related to things like python, pkg-config, and other dependencies that I did not have to deal with when I created the project in Windows. I may have simply installed "windows-build-tools" locally on Windows.

Is there an equivalent for Linux? What is the correct strategy when migrating a Node project from one OS to another?
