API Connect

Hello API Connect Community
Recently I started exploring IBM Cloud API Connect

Here are my first impressions:

$ apic -v
API Connect: v5.0.8.9-iFix (apiconnect: v5.2.12)
npm -v : 6.4.1 $ node --version  v10.15.3

First I thought it is looking good - then I changed my view

npm install -g apiconnect

outputs a lot of warnings like
npm WARN deprecated mkdirp@0.5.1: Legacy versions of mkdirp are no longer supported. Please update to mkdirp 1.x. (Note that the API surface has changed to use Promises in 1.x.)
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
npm WARN deprecated request-promise@2.0.1: request-promise has been deprecated because it extends the now deprecated request package, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
npm WARN deprecated request-promise@3.0.0: request-promise has been deprecated because it extends the now deprecated request package, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
npm WARN deprecated @angular/http@2.4.10: Package no longer supported. Use @angular/common instead, see https://angular.io/guide/deprecations#angularhttp

https://www.npmjs.com/package/apiconnect?activeTab=dependencies
apiconnect is having lots of dependencies ( more than 31 )

Some instructions like

apic loopback

did not work

$ apic loopback
Error: The command `loopback` is invalid.

apic --ext-version
apiconnect: v5.2.12 (API Connect: v5.0.8.9-iFix)
plugins 6.0.2

Do we have a working docker image of node with apic?

I found one which is at least 2 years old.
