Well ,
I discovered that that node-sass is broken at the global level because of a missing bower

sysop@vocsem:~/temi$ npm list|grep sass
├─┬ node-sass@4.13.0
│ ├─┬ sass-graph@2.2.4
sysop@vocsem:~/temi$ npm list --global|grep sass
├─┬ node-sass@4.13.0
│ ├─┬ sass-graph@2.2.4
npm ERR! peer dep missing: bower@&gt;=1.3.0, required by generator-liferay-theme@7.0.6
sysop@vocsem:~/temi$

So seems that generator-liferay-theme ignores local modules
Also strange is that trying to reinstall globally bower seems installing correctly but the above command (node list --global) gives a different error

sysop@vocsem:~/temi$ npm install -g bower
npm WARN deprecated bower@1.8.8: We don't recommend using Bower for new projects. Please consider Yarn and Webpack or Parcel. You can read how to migrate legacy project here: https://bower.io/blog/2017/how-to-migrate-away-from-bower/

Any suggestion to solve this nightmare?
Can generator-liferay-theme be forced to use local modules?

UPDATETried another clean install using only global installationgenerator-liferay-theme gives the three unmet peer dependency; but "yo liferay theme" tries (and fail) to install what it needs
Attached here a file containing the versions og the global module installed and the complete transcripf of "yo liferay-theme"

Thanks ChristophI have a strange behaviour.
Following the step described below I was able to have a generator -liferay-theme installed without errors.But the theme generation gives an error on sass and build failsI'm using Ubuntu 18.04.3. The username is sysop and the home directory is /home/sysopI created a .npmrc file in /home/sysop containing

prefix=/home/sysop/.npm-packages

I added in /home/sysop/.profile these lines

NPM_PACKAGES=/home/sysop/.npm-packages

PATH=${PATH}:${NPM_PACKAGES}/bin

Then I installed npm distribuited with the OS

sudo apt install npm

After various attempts (I'm using a virtual machine; so I do an attempt then revert to a snapshot) I discovered that module have to be installed globally and locally.In this situation the generator -liferay-theme can be installed locally without errors (stil installing globally gives the three unmet dependencies)I worked inside a directory named /home/sysop/temiThe commands are:

cd ~/temi

npm install -g yo

npm install -g gulp

npm install -g bower

npm install -g node-gyp

npm install -g pangyp

npm install -g node-sass

npm install yo

npm install gulp

npm install bower

npm install node-gyp

npm install pangyp

npm install node-sass

npm install generator-liferay-theme@7.0.6

Now I can generate a theme; but there is a sass error. The relevant lines are:

sysop@vocsem:~/temi$ yo liferay-theme

I'm all done. Running npm install &amp; bower install for you to install the required dependencies. If this fails, try running the command yourself.

I am not sure how restrictive it is, but you have bower 1.8.8 installed globally. Maybe you need to install a 1.3 version? Just guessing here. If that works, you could try the same with gulp and yo. At least for gulp and yo the major version changed.
