From your prompt it looks like you're running the command in /usr/local/lib/node_modules. So what module are you trying to build?

TooTallNate · 2012-07-05T08:47:44Z

Exception: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /usr/local/lib/node_modules) while trying to load binding.gyp

^ That

ashalaenko · 2012-07-05T10:16:50Z

So, I tried to use that :
npm install iconv -g

And got this error.

@ashalaenko Can you output the entire log including the command?

I'm experiencing this issue too. What was the resolution?

TooTallNate · 2012-09-18T15:11:41Z

Everyone, node-gyp configure must be run from the root directory of a node module. @jamcoupe Invoking it at / is likely not what you want to do.

gavinr · 2012-09-18T15:15:21Z

Thanks @TooTallNate. I agree. Just to reiterate, if you are getting this error you need to go to the node module folder (for me this was happening with node-sqlserver, located at USERDIR/node_modules/node-sqlserver) and run the node-gyp configure command from there. Thanks!

jonbarlo · 2013-01-07T23:29:35Z

hello guys,

@TooTallNate

I'm having a problem trying to running node-sqlserver on my windows 7 machine...
Already have installed and working
-node.js
-appFog
-ruby (command prompt)
-python

So what i've done so far is to download everything in one "test" folder, when try to execute the node-gyp configure im gettin this:

I know im getting the "gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: C:\Users\jonathan.barquero\Documents\node.js so
urce\test) while trying to load binding.gyp" but wondering why im getting this error if i do have everything nested in one folder

in within the folder node_modules i have the two github projects (node-gyp & node-sqlserver)

I already tryed to go to the node module folder as @gavreh mentioned but it didnt worked i got the same result, so im afraid im still not getting how to solve this, could any of you guys help me a bit

Thanks!
Appreciate it

I'm currently getting the same problem.

ganna-shmatova · 2016-01-14T17:32:27Z

one of about 7 issues i've been having installing node-gyp

kala725 · 2016-05-30T12:29:20Z

Try running the following commands and then run npm install, this will take the node's default node-gyp module. (No need to have multiple as node package already provides that)

Updating the node & NPM

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 4.4.5
sudo npm install npm -g

Removing additional Node-gyp module

sudo npm uninstall node-gyp -g
sudo npm uninstall node-gyp

niftylettuce · 2016-06-29T21:31:51Z

Your solution does not work, this is still broken.

krylatij · 2016-12-01T18:13:05Z

Go to the folder with binding.gyp of your module and run "node-gyp configure" from it.

seatownrocks · 2017-01-01T16:35:47Z

After hours of struggling with this issue. All I did was npm config set GYP_MSVS_VERSION 2015. I also pointed Python to npm as well as Visual Studio version. Your .npmrc file found in the home directory should look like this:

msvs_version=2015
python=C:Python27python.exe
GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015

Ofcourse having Visual C++ installed together with Visual Studio (I used community edition, it had both)

+1 for mac

Spaxe · 2017-03-22T10:06:51Z

Update, looks like @krylatij was on point. You have to run configure in a folder where binding.gyp is, or you will get this error.

Problem solved once I found the right folder.

ctzurcanu · 2017-03-22T10:12:48Z

i have not found such file on my computer. note: i had to change recently to python3 and only today i am installing python2 alongside (just because gyp does not support ver 3)

gibfahn · 2017-03-22T10:53:28Z

@ctzurcanu what are you trying to use node-gyp for? It's a tool for building native node modules, and every native node module should have a binding.gyp file in the root.

For example, you could clone node-report (a small native module in the nodejs foundation), and run node-gyp configure in that.

npm install -g node-gyp # This should put node-gyp in the path if it's not already
git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node-report.git
cd node-report
node-gyp configure

ctzurcanu · 2017-03-22T11:51:15Z

@gibfahn thank you. I wanted to build https://github.com/wekan/wekan and i see no binding.gyp in the source while in node-report is clearly present in the root..
I should understand that the source there is incomplete.

gibfahn · 2017-03-22T12:02:45Z

@ctzurcanu I don't think wekan is a native module. node-gyp is for building native modules (i.e. C++ code not just JavaScript).

But basically if you just want to use modules, npm install should just work (for native and non-native modules), you shouldn't need to use node-gyp directly.

gibfahn · 2017-03-22T12:05:17Z

Also that module has a pretty detailed Wiki page, if you want to install I recommend reading the docs for the module.

ctzurcanu · 2017-03-22T12:20:53Z

@gibfahn thank you. It is exactly because following that Wiki page that I got in this trouble. They said on it to install gyp before npm install. But at your recommendation: I skipped that step and all that was of interest to me runs fine now :)

M-Abozaid · 2017-04-04T14:46:41Z

same here on Ubuntu

gibfahn · 2017-04-04T14:55:38Z

@M-Abozaid (and anyone else planning to comment) can you please raise an issue on https://github.com/nodejs/help ? Your issue is almost certainly not a node-gyp error.

Feel free to include a link to this issue and to cc/ me in the issue.

dachendev · 2017-04-29T03:26:30Z

I am trying to install node-opus and keep getting node-gyp related errors to the binding.gyp
npm i node-opus --save

EDIT: It might be an issue with the node-opus package, just installed opusscript instead without any problems.

refack · 2017-04-29T03:30:24Z

@jndachenhaus depending on which platform you are working on (Windows/linux/mac) there are some steps you need to take in order for node-gyp to function properly.
The README is now quite good, and has gone trough allot of improvempt. If you follow it's instructions node-gyp should work.

feixuwu · 2017-08-06T04:04:19Z

OK， I found the same error, because I only install visual studio 2017 and the node-gyp currently didn't support visual studio 2017, I changed the MSVSVersion.py script(under C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\gyp\pylib\gyp),
and then fix this problem.
after fix the problem you can use command to install, I opened visual studio 2017 command prompt
and go to the project folder then type the comand:
for example: npm install dnode --msvs_version=2017

In the MSVSVersion.py, you need add code 3 position:

1、In function _CreateVersion, you can add vs2017 like this:
versions = {
'2017': VisualStudioVersion('2017',
'Visual Studio 2017',
solution_version='12.00',
project_version='14.1',
flat_sln=False,
uses_vcxproj=True,
path=path,
sdk_based=sdk_based,
default_toolset='v141'),

2、In _DetectVisualStudioVersions function, add one line:
'14.1': '2017',

3、In SelectVisualStudioVersion function, add one line:
'2017': ('14.1',),

this works for me, only installed visual studio 2017.

suyingtao · 2017-08-17T03:18:59Z

sudo npm i

AlexandreBonneau · 2017-11-29T23:57:30Z

On my end, I had to do this to force a rebuild manually:

cd node_modules/fibers
npm install

Then I could use my project as usual.

askucher · 2018-10-02T21:25:22Z

same here ubuntu. damn hate this issue

A-lee-201 · 2018-11-13T12:11:50Z

npm install iconv -g

This worked for me. Thanks!

ouqunfu · 2019-05-06T07:47:26Z

@feixuwu This worked for me. Thanks! In Windows , install canvas will error, so I installed GTK , it worked.

This is mostly to make Fedora's .rpm builder happy. But it won't hurt now that Python 2 is unsupported in gyp-next.
