here is the cricial part of the logs:

Checking for header occi.h : Missing include files for OCI

To fix it, you need to set OCI_INCLUDE_DIR and OCI_LIB_DIR env variables

Assuming that oracle client and sdk are installed in /opt/instantclient

$ export OCI_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/instantclient/sdk/include/ 
$ export OCI_LIB_DIR=/opt/instantclient

Then just install the module.

Hi I came across a similar error but after correctly installing oracledb package, then running meteor run it gives an error about oracledb again missing modules - ../build/Release/oracledb stackoverflow.com/questions/45105846/…
