node-inspector: [[[ INSTALL ISSUES ]]] 404 node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for v8-debug stack Error: Failed to execute

Potential duplicate of #868

node --version
v7.2.1

npm --version
3.10.9

New MacBook delivered yesterday.

First error I’m getting:

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

So I tried following the instructions here: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/569#issuecomment-255589932

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Output from the console:

npm install -g node-inspector

Seeing the same thing, and just as a warning,

Never do what @bbbenji suggests. Never modify the permissions of root folders. Never sudo install with package managers (npm or otherwise). And never install -g for project-specific dependencies.

This is what “fixed” it for me, but I don’t know how much of it was required

Remove the existing node-gyp folder from this comment

rm -r ~/.node-gyp

Update npm (why not?)

npm install npm@latest -g

Remove existing node_modules/

rm -r node_modules

Remove the existing package-json.lock (or yarn.lock if using yarn) from this comment. An older version of fsevent in the lockfile could be causing this error

rm package-json.lock

And then reinstalling

npm install

I solved this by

cd [projectPath]/node_modules/node-gyp
yarn
cd [projectPath]
yarn

just install it manually!

I fixed this issue by doing the following

sudo chmod -R 777 /root
sudo npm install -g node-inspector
sudo chmod -R 700 /root

rm package-json.lock

I think it should be

rm package-lock.json

From official link : Since version 6.3, Node.js provides a buit-in DevTools-based debugger which mostly deprecates Node Inspector, The built-in debugger is developed directly by the V8/Chromium team and provides certain advanced features (e.g. long/async stack traces) that are too difficult to implement in Node Inspector.

Same env as @AlexPoirier1

npm – version 4.2.0 node --version v7.4.0

Reverted back to node v6.9.5 and the install worked.

I’m having the same issue

node --version : v9.8.0
npm version 5.7.1

but just updating npm

Update available 5.6.0 → 5.7.1    │
Run npm i npm to update

& re-running yarn command it works fine … now

installing “latest” node-inspector didn’t cut it for me. I had to install the 0.7.5 version, as mentioned in above comments, to move on:

npm install -g node-inspector@0.7.5

rdamborsky on Apr 18, 2018

same here:

→ npm --version
4.0.5

→ node --version
v7.3.0

I tried to execute with and without super user access on a OS X 10.11.6

I also noticed that the first two errors are:

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://node-inspector.s3.amazonaws.com/debug/v0.7.7/node-v51-darwin-x64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for v8-debug@0.7.7 and node@7.3.0 (node-v51 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

So it tries to download binaries and, not founding the binaries tries to compile those and fails.

Does anyone have any workaround or temporal fix for that?

Thanks!

I updated my npm version and since I have the 404 and 403 errors on node-pre-gyp which seems to be part of grpc which in turn I was using for my firebase project what I did was the following:

  1. Update npm
  2. rm -rf node_modules
  3. rm package-lock.json
  4. remove manually my firebase (and firebase/firestore in my case) dependencies from package.json (I think you should remove your firebase or grpc or similar dependencies)
  5. npm install --save firebase
  6. npm install
  7. (optional) npm audit fix

After that, I was able to finally run my project as always.

In my case it seems that the firestore package was drastically updated including its dependencies

I hope it helps someone else.

We had the same issue. To solve it, we upgraded the version of Node.

npm --version v4.2.0 node --version v6.9.5

stil the same issue. This time when installing bcrypt. It seems github release download URL changed from : https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/releases/download/v1.0.2/bcrypt_lib-v1.0.2-node-v48-darwin-x64.tar.gz to https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/archive/v1.0.2.tar.gz

Moving from v7.4.0 back to v6.9.5 resolved the issue for me as well.

I’m using nvm to manage my node versions on macOS, but it wasn’t setup in my shell correctly, so it defaulted to native node version (10.0.0 in this case) and after switching back to 9.11.1 I no longer have that error.

For me, it was due to the latest node version.

hi all,

i had the same problems installing node-pre-gyp i managed to install it manually, but with the same error messages after “npm install” in node-red directory

so after checking the error logs i found

gyp WARN EACCES user “root” does not have permission to access the dev dir “/root/.node-gyp/4.2.1”

after sudo su i tried again, with the same github (404) download error, but this time the script started the make sequence without any errors

so my problem was just user permissions after “npm run build” in the node-red dir i can now start node red.js without any problems

hope that helps
