Issue with NPM RUN DEV on a laravel 5.4 project - Ubuntu server

I'm having some issues when running NPM RUN DEV on a production server.

I've done a fresh clone of our project from git, ran the following commands;

• composer install
• composer update
• npm install --save-dev cross-env
• npm install
• npm run dev

These commands work on our staging server which is the same version of Ubuntu - 16.04.6 LTS

The exact Error I'm getting is

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 2
npm ERR! @ development: `node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 2
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the @ development script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /var/www/.npm/_logs/2019-10-14T14_21_32_680Z-debug.log

and I get the following when I cat /var/www/.npm/_logs/2019-10-14T14_21_32_680Z-debug.log

here's my package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "npm run development",
    "development": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "watch": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "watch-poll": "npm run watch -- --watch-poll",
    "hot": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "prod": "npm run production",
    "production": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.15.3",
    "bootstrap-sass": "^3.3.7",
    "cross-env": "^3.2.3",
    "jquery": "^3.1.1",
    "laravel-mix": "^0.12.1",
    "lodash": "^4.17.4",
    "vue": "^2.5.9"
  },

I've tried the following fixes;

1. composer update
2. rm -rf node_modules
3. npm cache clean
4. npm install
5. npm run dev

I always get the same errors back and it's driving me mad, any help would be greatly appreciated.
