the repo has a server running with Express.js+Next.js and it is serving React-redux application. The repo’s readme.md says that it needs to be installed by running npm install -d but whenever I run it with it or npm install it just gives out following error

Please help me on how should I resolve it or where to look at for the same. Please help

Thank you for suggesting that, the error got resolved by running

npm install --build-from-resource

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm node-sass -g worked for me 😉

It didn’t still work. any other solution?

I actually had a few issues here on my own. Running Node 12.4.0. What I actually did that fixed it was 1.) npm install --build-from-resource 2.) npm install fsevents (in my case fsevents was part of the issue). Still not sure what the issue was.

If I continued having issues I would probably nuke the node_modules, install fresh, try to manually install whatever was causing the issues, then go back to install the whole package and see from there.

I had a very similar issue I had to remove both my yarn.lock file and node_modules directory. I tried removing just the node_modules directory but it did not work until after I also deleted the yarn.lock file.

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

yes it does work @dreamhigh0822 !

swoodivyesh on May 23, 2019

Removing firebase dependency from package.json, followed by npm install --build-from-resource magically removes all errors. Makes me wonder why sometimes programmers should not question why things work and why not.

@cloudnine-testscript your error output suggests that you’re trying to compile an addon that hasn’t been updated to work on the version of Node.js that you’re using. You should either downgrade Node.js (maybe 10?), upgrade the version of the addon you’re using or, if that doesn’t work, chase up the addon author and ask them to update to work with the version of Node.js that you’re using.

@anthonybrown Your version of grpc (1.19.0) doesn’t support Node.js 12. You need at least grpc 1.20.2: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/releases/tag/grpc%401.20.2

richardlau on Jun 30, 2019

@SamiChab Thank you. It helped me. I just downgraded node to 10, then it works well.

Thyiad on Nov 12, 2019

You can downgrade node version or upgrade firebase version. I think that firebase upgrade is good option.

I downgraded to Node 10.x and the issues were fixed (I have Mac OS Catalina)

Please upgrade node-gyp. Also see: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/792#issuecomment-153095874
