Vue-storefront installation error. Can't build storefront npm – Magento

I have some questions according to the installation of Vue-storefront on my local.
I am using Mac OS 10.13.4 and node version 8.11.5, npm version 5.6
But while building storefront npm, it returns an error.

 [Error: Can't build storefront npm.                                                                                │

    The error “Can’t build storefront npm” appears because npm can’t automatically install required modules. To prevent this error, you should manually install those modules before running the installer. It’s easy:

    git clone https://github.com/DivanteLtd/vue-storefront.git vue-storefront && cd vue-storefront
npm install
npm install vue-carousel vue-no-ssr
npm run build # check if no errors
npm run installer

    This is probably because of the yarn.lock file which locks certain version of dependencies. Try these steps:

    1. delete the yarn.lock file
    2. delete the node_modules folder
    3. run yarn
      (so the dependencies are downloaded again – you will see a lot of
      warnings which is not bad, although your project will not be future
      proof)
    4. run yarn installer again
