Build error installing on Mac OS X. Problem with scrypt install script?

[sgoendoer]

Hi, I have a problem with the installation of scrypt.

I installed node via brew on my Mac OS X 10.15.6. Everything runs fine, but I wanted to install web3, which fails due to the dependency of scrypt. So I tried installing scrypt manually via npm. This fails as follows:

~ npm install scrypt

> scrypt@6.0.3 preinstall /Users/me/node_modules/scrypt
> node node-scrypt-preinstall.js

> scrypt@6.0.3 install /Users/me/node_modules/scrypt
> node-gyp rebuild

I asked the topic already some time ago on stack overflow here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63015458/npm-install-errors-for-package-scrypt, yet no solution was found. I tried reinstalling everything, switching permissions of files and directories.

My env is:
Mac OS X 10.15.6
node 14.7.0
npm 6.14.7
node-gyp 7.0.0

There is already fix in master branch, however new version was not released yet. You can try to use fixed version from git:

npm install github:barrysteyn/node-scrypt#fb60a8d3c158fe115a624b5ffa7480f3a24b03fb

However, if this is your direct dependecy, consider following warning in README:

#WARNING!!! This module is deprecated. Instead, use https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html#crypto_crypto_scrypt_password_salt_keylen_options_callback

We are waiting for the new version release from May 2020 in vain: #197 (comment)
