back story: in trying to uninstall iojs and reinstall node, I entered a world of shizzao but finally got node and npm installed successfully....I tried installing node-gyp globally to no avail...

Delete your $HOME/.node-gyp directory and try again.

Aside, many tools don't handle spaces in path names well (/Users/ernest son/...).

@brascosDad
Copy link
Author

sorry, when you say "$home" do you essentially mean usr/local/bin? that's what "which node-gyp" yields in term...or do you mean another location?

I did change my user name by eliminating space for "_". thanks for the heads up

@bnoordhuis

I mean the HOME environment variable. :-) node-gyp normally downloads the development tarballs to $HOME/.node-gyp, i.e., /home/username/.node-gyp or /Users/username/.node-gyp.

thanks, i figured out what you meant....just tried npm install and it appears i still have rebuild issues. it looks as though my user rename didn't propogate..(?)

Maybe you need to log out and log in again? It's also possible that $HOME/.npmrc has some outdated variables.

@brascosDad

so redelete $HOME/.node-gyp and also .npmrc? logout and try again? I already restarted after user name change...

@bnoordhuis

Maybe just edit your .npmrc in case it contains valuable things like tokens.

i see a .rvmrc folder in $HOME, but no .npmrc.....and how exactly would I edit it (if I could find it)?

@bnoordhuis

If you don't have a .npmrc, don't worry about it. If you do, just vim will do; it's a text file.

I don't have one...any other ideas? I think I've tried everything on our

for me, the solution was fixing the space in my home folder (that was a whole other "can o' worms"). then 'npm install' worked like a charm. also, I suggest reaching out to the folks at npm if it truly is npm related. They're great!

@midhunadarvin

I also had the node-gyp rebuild error while installing utf-8-validate package through npm. Removing the space from my filepath worked for me.

Same with botkit. howdyai/botkit#2

aroc commented Dec 16, 2015

Ok, so I do not have a space in my filepath. I deleted the ~/.node-gyp folder and then the ~/.npmrc file. Restarted my computer. Then tried again and it worked. Hope that helps someone else out there!

@aroc It doesn't helped for me :(

@JxnGraphix

Thanks @bnoordhuis! I had the same issue with no spaces in my file path. Deleting the original node_modules folder from my project, then deleting .node-gyp (I did not have .npmrc), restarting, and installing node in my project again with (sudo npm install) worked with no errors.

Node v5.2.0

Yikes. It scares me to think how low-level this is that a machine restart is a potential solution...

UriKatz commented Dec 22, 2015

I had similar issues on Ubuntu 14.04, after trying everything here I finally solved it by running:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

As is recommended here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

@samgranger
Copy link

I already had build-essential installed, installing libkrb5-dev did the trick for me:

apt-get install libkrb5-dev

@ByScripts

For me, just deleting the ~/.node-gyp folder, then running npm update on my project solved the problem (without rebooting). Thank for the trick!

@josephgodwinkimani

Run into same error when trying to download dependencies for angular-phonecat . I solved it by using @bnoordhuis method just the same way @JxnGraphix put it.

Node 4.2.3

barnash commented Feb 18, 2016

I also deleted the node_modules directory I had (including .node-gyp and all), solved my issue. No restart.

@mylonasg88
Copy link

Thanks @aroc I removed ~/.node-gyp and ~/.npmrc. In my project I removed node_modules and restarted my machine (restart might not be necessary) and all worked great.

Could be node-sass? It compiles every time I install it.

Could be node-sass? It compiles every time I install it.

Could be. node-sass v4.12.0 adds support for Node.js 12: https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/tag/v4.12.0

Thanks, @richardlau. I will try to follow node-sass [email protected] compatibility issues.

This has done the job
Node 12.1.0, npm 6.9.0
Remove node-gyp
Update to node-sass 4.12.0

tried pretty much every suggestion and nothing works :/ anyone has a working solution without downgrading node?

@strarsis
Copy link

@kukoman: If it is node-sass, upgrading it (node-sass) usually solved these issues for me.

@kukoman

kukoman commented May 22, 2019

@strarsis did try to downgrade node-sass, removing it, reinstalling, deleting cache, removing and reinstalling gyp... still no joy :/

@strarsis
Copy link

strarsis commented May 22, 2019

@kukoman: No, upgrade node-sass to the latest version (4.12.0 (atw), see https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-sass).

hakoiko commented May 23, 2019

In my case,
I removed package-lock.json and node_modules folder. and npm install
tada! everything works fine

Nothing of what suggested above worked for me, however, I solved my issue switching to a different node version (e.g. using nvm).

Switching from node v12.3.1 to v8.16.0 with nvm solved this for me.

used nvm and downgraded to node v11.10.0, which solved my problem

@woprandi

I always have a problem to rebuild a old ember app despite a yarn.lock because of this package, unacceptable...

@strarsis
Copy link

@woprandi: The system itself differs from the one where the bindings compilation worked,
so it fails, this shouldn't happen, but this package has this kind of issue.
You could try to install the app dependencies inside a VM/container that runs on an older *nix distribution (from which you know that it worked in the past) and hopefully it compiles.

Follow these steps to resolve the issue.

1: Make sure you have build-tools installed.
2: Update node-gyp
3: Delete package-lock.json and node modules folder and run npm install again.
4: Deleting ~/.node-gyp folder and run npm install again.

This page is for that specific issue from 3yrs ago, which was solved. It is not catch-all place for all node-gyp failures. If you have issues with building a node module:

  • open an issue in that module issue tracker,
  • if that does not help and you are suspecting issue with node-gyp itself, open new issue here with your specific system config and error message
