This fixed the issue for me npm install -g node-gyp

there’s no issue when I’m using node 8 but it is on node 11

Depending on your platform, you need to be able to run node-gyp with the instructions at: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

i installed gyp:

npm install -g node-gyp

then did

node-gyp rebuild

and then faced other problem:

gyp info spawn args   '-Goutput_dir=.' ]
gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /Users/miukki/Sites/winery) while trying to load binding.gyp

I had the same issue on Arch Linux, I solved it by downgrading nodejs from 6.5.0 to 6.4.0

I had similar issue when installing accounts-password package via meteor add accounts-password.

Successfully installed the package by first installing npm-bcrypt package via meteor add npm-bcrypt and then installing accounts-password package via meteor add accounts-password.
