**I am starting to learn Contributing to opensource and choose _p5.js_ to start with as I am familiar with _Javascript_and _p5.js_ both. I have Successfully Installed the p5 repo and while trying to build with no changes. I encountered an issue while building it.  
I have followed all the procedure to start building it using _The Coding Train Tutorial._**

Ok thanks,

I am not so qualified to help you solve the issue, the best way is to open an issue on the p5.js github repository (by specifying the above configuration and logs) :
