I found this a while back too, but didn’t work for me.
It talks about submodules of npm and how to update them:
@mcoffin altering this environment variable also works for me, i.e.,
$ env PYTHON=$(which python2) npm installThanks!This should be fixed in the latest version of
better-sqlite3(v6.0.1), due to the use of prebuilt binaries.I was stuck on this (Arch Linux) for awhile and was able to get past by deleting my .node_modules and global module dir, then running with
env PYTHON=$(which python2) yarn startas suggested by @theflyingapeIt seems people are moving away from
node-gypto a native js solution but it will take time.If you’re interested about this story.
Having the same issue on Manjaro, on NVS (Node Version Switcher) on Node 12.x. Solved by downgrading version to 10.x Anyone who is having this issue, try downgrading your node version to LTS by
beginning with node v.12.13 it will also fail to compile. Had to revert to v12.12.0 and node-gyp@5
The following does also work for me on Arch without having to fiddle with subdependencies:
The sad state of Node.js.
Apparently there’s a new version
v6.0.1ofnode-gypthat fixed the issue but I still get the same error above cuz npm is not using it!The reason is npm is using the old version
v5.0.7internally.Result of
$ npm i better-sqlite3 --verboseI still had an issue working with python3 when installing. Switched to python2.7 seemed to fix the issue. It seems to be a problem with the NPM package integer.
@mikeshultz What other C based package works w/ python 3 that you are using?
Whatever it is reasonable, I would agree with you, maybe not reasonable, and I listed the problem it makes for me. I posted it, but I’m ok if it is seen as ‘unreasonable’. I suspect that once Node supports python 3 (as per recent git commit) the issue may fix itself.
There is also a sqlite .js based package that is ~ 20% slower in my tests than a C based one.
So I think I have solution for all. Notes are in the ‘integer’ package for the same developer. Short story, use nvm to install node and use python v2.
We should consolidate all these note under wiki.
