gyp errors on npm install #2972

conceptree · 2024-01-26T13:55:23Z

Hello,

I am currently getting an error in most of my installed node versions that goes from 14.16.0 up to 18 and latest 20.

I already tried most of the suggested fixs by the community that pass through the sass reinstallation and others.

I have reinstalled the node-gyp@latest globally but didnt solved the problem.

Node Version: 20.11.0 & NPM 10.2.4

Just tried with v16.20.2 and works without problems in the previous errors but still brakes on local-npm install.

rcerljenko · 2024-01-31T07:56:41Z

same error... node v18.17

rcerljenko · 2024-01-31T08:49:40Z

10.4.0

rcerljenko · 2024-01-31T08:52:51Z

ok that could be a temp fix but i would prefer to use the latest npm if possible

That link provides a pointer to all the other issues in this repo about the same problem.

conceptree · 2024-01-31T23:42:20Z

@cclauss so does this confirms that the node tls rejection flag is the cause of the problem?

Tuscan-blue · 2024-05-11T07:27:05Z

Before

I met the same error. What should I do ?

Update - My solutions

updating npm bundled node gyp
Recreate Project (I previously attempted rm -rf node_modules, rm -rf package-lock.json, npm cache clean --force, and npm cache verify, all of which were unsuccessful.)
npm i -g node-gyp@latest
npm install

cclauss · 2024-05-11T08:06:33Z

Are you all trying to install leveldown or some other module?

Tuscan-blue · 2024-05-11T09:31:16Z

@cclauss I tried to install sqlite3....

I am using Mac m1 chip laptop. I've recently updated to latest homebrew version. When I try to install node modules, there were these node gyp errors. So using the stackoverflow post above I was able to downgrade the homebrew version and the node modules were now installed successfully. So the solution that i posted above is for specifically Mac machines.

Ah, thank you for the clarification. With added context your comment can help out Mac users.

Somewhere in the middle of logs I saw this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/eugenesaigak/balance/backend/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/gyp_main.py", line 42, in <module>
    import gyp  # noqa: E402
    ^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/Users/eugenesaigak/balance/backend/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/__init__.py", line 9, in <module>
    import gyp.input
  File "/Users/eugenesaigak/balance/backend/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py", line 19, in <module>
    from distutils.version import StrictVersion

This answer solved the issue for me:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/77638742

brew install python-setuptools

Explanation from the source:

distutils module is used to install python packages for node gyp. This module usually installed as part of python installation.
In python v3.12, distutils module removed. This means your local doesn't have any tool in place to support python package installation for node gyp.

cclauss · 2024-08-14T12:10:12Z

@jeniasaigak The full error log will clarify that you have an out-of-date version of node-gyp.

Please read the installation section of node-gyp's README.md.

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp?tab=readme-ov-file#installation says

Important

Python >= v3.12 requires node-gyp >= v10

lumleon · 2024-08-19T03:44:23Z

Simply do sudo npm install -g node-gyp

Then re-run npm install, all GOOD!!!!!

wuazhu · 2024-09-03T08:27:25Z

I tried all the solutions in the comments, but none of them worked.
in the end, it works
step1: npm install node-gyp or add node-gyp to the package.json
step2: npm install
and it works!!! God Please!!!

studentrk · 2024-09-17T10:59:46Z

What solved it for me was downgrading to node version v16.20.2, use python version 3.9.0 and also use node-gyp@10.0.0

And I had to ran the following commands:

npm rebuild
rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean --force
npm i --legacy-peer-deps

Edit:

Downgrading to an unsupported version of Node.is NOT recommended.

https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases

After downgrading and running the commands I upgraded node and python again and everything was working fine. It just needed the downgrade for the initial installation of node_modules it seemed.

I opened a pr npm/make-fetch-happen#316 so make-fetch-happen respect NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED.
It will still not respect other node variables such as NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS (which would be ideal for folks behind a corporate proxy).

TunaB · 2024-10-03T13:23:31Z

I found that the problem is caused by minipass-fetch dependency, which they are also facing the same problem.
npm/minipass-fetch#61 (comment)
Applying options.agent.options.rejectUnauthorized = false line worked for me in the index.js file of minipass-fetch inside the node_modules
Recommended for those who want to apply NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0. Not recommended for other use cases
