node.bcrypt.js: bcrypt@3.0.0 fails to install

If you are using ubuntu, make sure you have the following packages installed: apt-get install -y build-essential

or CentOS: yum install gcc-c++ make

another… https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

npm install --save bcryptjs && npm uninstall --save bcrypt 😄

Same problem here, installing on linux

This worked for me…

1. Make sure all nodejs programs are CLOSED
2. Open console in administrator mode
3. Install Yarn
4. yarn add bcrypt@3.0.0

npm install --save bcrypt@3.0.6 --nodedir

@ihteshamqazi AFAIK:

bcrypt: is implemented in C++. Version 3+ doesn’t provide a pre-compiled version of it and therefore you need to have build tools installed to compile it. Although you don’t need them for deployment, you must ensure binary compatibility with your platform.

bcryptjs: is a plain js implementation and therefore you don’t need anything. But it’s around 30% slower, as stated in docs.

It’s up to you to use one of them. I use this one, because performance and security matters in this case.

Reverted to v2.0.1 for now. It would be good to get this issue solved as it’s been around for a while now and bcrypt is widely used.

Hey I think I ran into the same issue recently. If i understand the question you get that error when you try to run npm install bcrypt Well for me i tried npm install bcryptjs and it worked fine

npm install bcrypt@3.0.2

Pre-built binaries are now available for all supported platforms

After installing python 2.7 😕 Why isn’t all the necessary stuff is provided or listed to be downloaded to use this goddamn library? That’s just too many dependencies out of the nodejs environment which is supported to be noted or informed.

npm i node -g or npm i node-linux-x64 -g workerd for me,

npm install --save bcryptjs && npm uninstall --save bcrypt 😄

Hi, can u please tell, whats the difference between bcrypt and bcryptjs.
