node-opencv: npm install opencv fails with "node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build"
Hello, I’ve searched far and wide on this forum, and on stack overflow for a way to solve this problem.
I have node version 4.6.1 npm version 3.10.9
OpenCV 2.4.13.1 was installed with brew at: /usr/local/Cellar
I’m trying to npm install opencv, but I get these errors:

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
From what I’ve gathered, it has to do with my pkg-config. , however I followed the steps
My .bashrc file says this:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
Can anyone help?

I got my environment working on macOS, here are the steps:
pkg-configandopencv@2:brew install pkg-config opencv@2.brew link opencv@2 --force.rm -rf node_modules/.yarn.I encountered a similar (but not this exact one) node-pre-gyp issue, and what (seemingly) helped was installing node-pre-gyp globally.
npm install node-pre-gyp -gOn WSL (Bash on Windows) I was able to fix the (similar) issue by installing
libopencv-dev(see https://github.com/go-opencv/go-opencv/issues/57):In my case
apt-getfirst got issues with installing, I had to append the depends package names, too.I was experiencing the same issue but I managed to install it successfully.
OS: macOS 10.12 Sierra NPM: 3.10.8 Node: 7.0.0 Homebrew: 1.1.9 OpenCV: 2.4.13
I got it working by following @danschultzer 's suggestion and running:
brew unlink opencv && brew link --overwrite opencvIt generated a whole load of warnings but seems to have been installed correctly.
Right from your log…

I’ll recommend you guys to use OpenCV3 instead
brew install opencv3; brew link --force opencv3This solved my problem https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/569#issuecomment-94917337
ninstall previous node.js and download load node version 8.4.0 Install and run .Hopefully the problem will be solve.
that worked for me (Y)
Got it working on Windows 10!
Installed the windows build tools first: link.
Then ran npm install on the node-opencv clone I did and boom - it works. Tried some examples in the examples folder with success too. I am yet to use a lot of the stuff but this looks promising.
It does still worry me about the problems on non windows system builds, the lack of pre-node-gyp builds, and response from the maintainer - it’d be nice to know if this library is still supported.
Question:
Is there a list of what pre-gyp binaries ARE out there so we can use nvm to get the right combination to avoid having to go through the build process?
