@FutureHits3Dev I deleted “firebase”: “^5.8.3”, “firebase-admin”: “^8.6.1”, “firebase-functions”: “^3.3.0”, “firebaseauth”: “^1.0.0”

But I think the error is caused by firebase-functions

npm install --save node-pre-gyp in the problematic project works - you essentially have to treat it like a peer dependency because of the compilation difficulties on Windows.

This is what people are referring to by “use the pre-compiled binaries” as well 😃

is there a solution for this?

This answer helped me. So I just downgraded node (with nvm) and it worked!

Windows 10 x64 here with node 14: npm install --save node-pre-gyp did the trick 😃

downgrading node to v11 worked

downgrading node to v11 worked

I changed node to 10.16.3, also worked. It failed at 12.12.0 before.

Work fine with node 10.16.3

The grpc package is now deprecated, so we will not be making any fixes to address this. We recommend instead using @grpc/grpc-js, which won’t have this kind of problem.

I am getting the same error when running npm install for a project file. There was a huge console log but these are the major parts of the output

I deleted everything in my ./node_modules folder, removed firebase from my package.json file, and I ran npm i again. That fixed my issue with this.

Deleting unused firebase modules worked for me.
