Delete your $HOME/.node-gyp directory and try again.

Aside, many tools don’t handle spaces in path names well (/Users/ernest son/...).

I had similar issues on Ubuntu 14.04, after trying everything here I finally solved it by running:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

As is recommended here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

Yikes. It scares me to think how low-level this is that a machine restart is a potential solution…

Ok, so I do not have a space in my filepath. I deleted the ~/.node-gyp folder and then the ~/.npmrc file. Restarted my computer. Then tried again and it worked. Hope that helps someone else out there!

For me, just deleting the ~/.node-gyp folder, then running npm update on my project solved the problem (without rebooting). Thank for the trick!

Closing, looks like this issue ran its course.

I already had build-essential installed, installing libkrb5-dev did the trick for me:

apt-get install libkrb5-dev

Also on High Sierra. Initially installed Node via homebrew which installed 10.0.0.

In order to get npm install working I had to:

  • Uninstall node via brew uninstall node
  • Unlink previous node brew unlink node
  • Install older version of node for me it was version 8 brew install node@8
  • Link older version of node with brew link --overwrite --force node@8

How is the issue closed when it’s clearly still a problem?

libtool: unrecognized option `-static’

This is your problem. which libtool should print /usr/bin/libtool. Yours is probably a not-quite-compatible one in, e.g., /usr/local/bin. Try this:

$ env PATH="/usr/bin:$PATH" npm install

I mean the HOME environment variable. 😃 node-gyp normally downloads the development tarballs to $HOME/.node-gyp, i.e., /home/username/.node-gyp or /Users/username/.node-gyp.

bnoordhuis on Nov 9, 2015

For me, after I Downgrade the node’s version it works finally.

$ brew install node@8 // install node8

$ brew unlink node // unlink old one

$ brew link node@8 // link node version 8

$ brew link --overwrite --force node@8 // force link version 8

Here are two reference page about Downgrade Node and force link to node 8.

JaylyLiu on Nov 8, 2018

Thanks @bnoordhuis! I had the same issue with no spaces in my file path. Deleting the original node_modules folder from my project, then deleting .node-gyp (I did not have .npmrc), restarting, and installing node in my project again with (sudo npm install) worked with no errors.

Node v5.2.0

vintlucky777 on May 29, 2018

I got the same error and I solved by running the following command: sudo npm install -g node-gyp@3.4.0

Nodejs - v7.2.0 Npm - 4.0.3

khiettran on Nov 23, 2016

Thanks @aroc I removed ~/.node-gyp and ~/.npmrc. In my project I removed node_modules and restarted my machine (restart might not be necessary) and all worked great.

node v4.1.2 npm 2.14.4 OS X El Capitan

mylonasg88 on Feb 22, 2016

Interesting to note that this issue still persists. After attempting all the possible combinations of solutions (modify ~/.npmrc, remove ~/.node-gyp, clear the npm cache, delete node_modules and even restart the system), what worked with me was downgrading the node.

For me the error mentioned the version numbers like:

gyp ERR! System Darwin 17.7.0
gyp ERR! node -v v12.1.0
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.8.0

I believe the versions mentioned in the log for node and node-gyp are incompatible. So I reverted to an older node version which worked like a charm.

npm install -g node@11.10.0

There should be a clear documentation describing breaking changes and compatibility issues between the two.

GheorgheP on May 2, 2018

I don’t know why but I found a solution and worked for me every time. Just simply install build-essential

tejkumar51 on Jun 19, 2016

I tried many suggestions and the only thing that worked is @JxnGraphix solution. Steps are:

  • Delete .node-gyp from root
  • Go to project directory then delete node_modules folder
  • sudo npm install

Finally… Wew!

Update: I encountered it again and instead of doing the above, this solution (symlinking node to nodejs) worked for me also.

  • Go to project directory then delete node_modules folder, then do this:
    sudo ln -s `which nodejs` /usr/bin/node
    sudo npm install

arvi on Jul 7, 2016

In my setup, the error was a python one. I has a conda environment activated that used python 3.6, while the code required 2.7

If you don’t want to change your conda setup, this will allow you to go through with the installation: PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH yarn install

Otherwise just run without conda enabled, or switch to a 2.7 environement.

Platform: OSX 10.14.3 node: 11.11.0 yarn: 1.13.0 conda: 4.6.7

so redelete $HOME/.node-gyp and also .npmrc? logout and try again? I already restarted after user name change…

brascosDad on Nov 9, 2015

Downgrade to a once semi-usable version of NodeJS (v8^) and delete node v10^ artifacts:

rm -rf ~/.node-gyp
rm ~/.npmrc
rm -rf ~/npm
rm -rf node_modules # <- in project folder

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

It will work with npm install and yarn install then. I should note that I also installed build-essentials and libkrb5-dev as per comments above, AND have set the python version to 2.7 like so: npm config set python /usr/bin/python2.7, just because I was following along with all the comments and trying everything.

No restart was necessary.

What a sad, sorry state we’ve driven the industry into when it’s more complex to “compile” a bunch of code written in a toy language than it was to parse punch cards in the 1970s or develop a censorship-resistant world computer.

hakoiko on May 23, 2019

i had solved this by downgrading the node and npm versions

Before versions:

node - v10.14.2 npm - 6.5.0

i had downgraded to below versions

After versions :

node - v8.11.3 npm - 5.6.0

this issue will be resolved,please try if any one still facing the issue

This did the trick for me:

Rafael-Ramblas on May 8, 2019

As for me, I got such error in Gitlab CI pipeline npm install command execution. I suppose it occured because of security vulnerabilities in project dependencies. (Locally everything worked as it should).

Found out about the cause of error after deleting package.lock.json file, commit&push to the origin and succeeded pipeline with npm warning about missing .lock file.

Fixed it by:

  • remove package.lock.json file and node_modules directory;
  • run npm install;
  • if any warnings about vulnerabilities - run npm audit fix;
  • commit new package.lock.json file;

itsNikolay on Jun 16, 2017

Using ubuntu 16.02 I fixed the problem by install node using the method listed under “How to Install Using a PPA”, rather than just using apt-get install

Yep, that just adds the ppa, does an apt-get install of nodejs and npm, and then does sudo apt-get install build-essential, giving you node, npm, and the required build tools.

gibfahn on Apr 17, 2017

honestly i didn’t read all of the stack traces here but i found in a line of mine, that something did not found the g++ lib. So i installed that and then it works for me.

This error is still bothering me and I’ve spent way too much time with finding a solution without having to reinstall Windows. If anyone is having trouble installing a specific package and don’t have time to fix this error, I found a work around by just using another package manager; switching to yarn add package-name worked for me. I will eventually reinstall windows to fix this error, which is annoying.

I tried by upgrading or downgrading the version of node , but nothing helped. There was a mismatch between the version which I was installing and the versions mentioned in package.json file.

For me, after I Downgrade the node’s version it works finally.

$ brew install node@8 // install node8

$ brew unlink node // unlink old one

$ brew link node@8 // link node version 8

$ brew link --overwrite --force node@8 // force link version 8

Here are two reference page about Downgrade Node and force link to node 8.

I was using node v11 as default from homebrew, and downgrading to node@10 works! thanx

kimhodol on Dec 3, 2018

This worked for me: (original comment by @dwieeb)

@smallg You’re getting permission errors for /usr/local/lib/node_modules. This is not an ionic issue, but an issue with your npm setup. See the npm docs: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

You can also do the following:

sudo chown -R $(whoami):staff /usr/local/lib/node_modules

This will change the directory owner to be your personal account. Then, never use sudo with npm.

The thread is huge because it’s too general (I npm install’d a module and something went wrong).

sorry, i didn’t read all of the above, but if your .npmrc has a path to python try removing it and running node-gyp rebuild again, this resolved the issue for me… this was after i ran npm uninstall -g node-gyp && npm install -g node-gyp && rm -rf .node-gyp/ but i think just removing the path in my .npmrc was all that really mattered.
