errors when building with gulp

Hi,
I encountered an error when trying to build with gulp. I ran the first two npm commands and it worked fine. The error look like this:

PS C:\tools\LiteMol-2> gulp

It looks like there is an encoding problem? I would much appreciate if anyone could help!

Hi, this will likely be caused by NodeJS version. Would using https://molstar.org be an option for you?

[blackjack6666]

OK, that would be an option. I'll look into it, thx! Would integrating molstar be similar as litemol?

[dsehnal]

Yes, it's quite similar.
