I have to work on an old AngularJS 1.5.5 app for maintenance purposes but I don't know how to setup a good env for it.
Which version of NodeJS/NPM should I install to make it working with the gulp tasks ?
Do I am also missing something required ?

first of all, check if the app uses npm at all. apps from that era had other dependency managers like bower or even just a folder with a bunch of scripts.
second, figure out if there is a any module system applied or just all tags in the index. if there is a module system, it's requireJS/commonsJS most likely.
if possible, just configure a virtual machine with software from that time, or even use nvm to configure a older node in case of npm being used.
if the app runs ok nowadays and there is the need of just little fixes, a special environment just for that would do the trick.
however i would recommend to ask for budget for a new app if someone asks for extend it with new features.
