If this is a mac machine (OSX) here is what you can do

use terminal

xcode-select --print-path 

then remove installed version

sudo rm -r -f /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools 

and reinstall

xcode-select --install 

that should fix the problem

Ref: gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected macOS Catalina

this works for me. run command below one by one

rm -rf node_modules rm package-lock.json npm update npm install 

$ npm i --ignore-script 

I tried different ways to solve this issue, finally, this comment simply help to install node packages without any errors.

This error is due to obsolete packages. It can also be due to a version change of NodeJS, npm or other packages and/or package managers. To solve it you must remove node_modules and execute the command:

npm i --ignore-script 

It's possible that node-sass gives you an error because it is already obsolete, so install npm sass. In case it's another package, just check the current version and update it.

Try this command below and see if that wiped away this issue. I have catalina on my mac and this command wiped away that problem.

 npm i -g node-gyp@latest && npm config set node_gyp "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js" 

Delete your $HOME/.node-gyp directory and try again:

rm -R ~/.node-gyp 

I think delete this directory is better:

rm -rf ~/.node-gyp/ rm -r node_modules/.bin/; rm -r build/ npm install <your module> 

if you remove your package-lock.json and then run

npm update npm install 

I had the same issue while installing a project which uses the webpack. And i did follow the steps about xcode-select reinstallation but it gave me the same error. For this I did a simple fix, I installed node-sass separately as it was the one giving error.

npm i node-sass 

Then ran the installation again using,

npm i 

And it worked for me✌️

Sometimes the node packages have older versions which needs to be upgraded as well for a project. For this you get vulnerability related warnings while installation. for this run the following command(it is also mentioned in terminal output),

npm audit fix 

This can also occurs if you have Python 3.11 installed, as mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/a/74732671/2630344

I faced similar issue where my MSVS_version was 2019.I tried following steps and issue was resolved.

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools 

Then

npm config set msvs_version 2017 npm i 

You may need to install Windows build tools. Check it out this ref.

I ran into this issue from a web development context via node-sass or gulp-sass which uses the gyp library that fails to install. tldr; too old, upgrade to sass which will avoid the gyp issue

Did some deep investigating on the issue. Several people may have ran into this issue because they're attempting to use gulp-sass which depends on node-sass in their development and along the way this gyp issue popped up.

Initially in the gulp-sass installation an error popped up complaining that python2.7 was not installed in my computer. Once I installed that, the gyp issue showed up due to an incompatability of the newest node and gyp. My solution was to use the newest gulp with the newest sass. Hope this helps anyone who arrived here from web development.

You probably need to change node-sass to sass in your package.json as stated on node-sass's official page (see here):

Warning: LibSass and Node Sass are deprecated. While they will continue to receive maintenance releases indefinitely, there are no plans to add additional features or compatibility with any new CSS or Sass features. Projects that still use it should move onto Dart Sass.

This worked for me

$ export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED='0' $ npm i --ignore-script 

As described here: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/1634

You need to install postgresql-server-dev-X.Y for building a server-side extension or libpq-dev for building a client-side application. gyp: Call to '/usr/bin/pg_config --libdir' returned exit status 1 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp 

In my case the problem solved by installing libpq-dev on my Ubuntu

$ sudo apt install libpq-dev 

then try to removing the node_modules and do npm install again.

Note Please take a note that this is not a problem with the node modules, the problem is on the my machine, it doesn't meet the criteria of libpq

I've faced the same issue on my OSX 10.15 with brew as repository; for me was enough doing:

brew unlink python@2 brew link python 

I had to update to dart-sass, was still using node-sass which is deprecated. https://github.com/sass/dart-sass#from-npm

I was facing similar issue while doing npm install for one of existing vuejs app. Initially it complained for missing python. after installing python, i started getting this error - gyp ERR! stack Error: gyp failed with exit code: 1

Later I realized that the project also had package-lock.json. I removed it and did npm install. It worked!!! So if you are facing similar issue, and also have package-lock.json then try removing it.

I was stuck with this issue for quite long on macOS. For me, on macOS, I had to

1. Install Python 2.7.x while Python 3 was already installed
2. Ensure Python 2 path was included in $PATH
3. Switch CLI. It didn't work in iTerm2, but worked fine on standard macOS terminal

I did install xcode as well, but that didn't have an effect

I got the same gyp ERR! error on Ubuntu 22 when I was installing node-heapdump.

To fix it, I run the following command:

 sudo apt install node-gyp 

I fixed this issue by changing the node version.

I use nvm to handle multiple node versions. I was using node v14.x and npm v6.x and I had to change node to 16.x and npm 8.x

I did:

nvm use 16 

If you don't have nvm, you need to install it using brew:

brew install nvm 

I know there could be multiple fixes for this error but this worked for me.

Later edit: I also switched from node-sass to sass as node-sass is not maintained anymore and the migration is not that complex. You can have a look at how to do this here.

macOS install gpu.js

Running on MacOS following these install steps:

1. install nvm curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash then open a new shell session.
2. nvm install 16
3. nvm use 16
4. brew install yarn [OR] npm install --global yarn
5. yarn add gpu.js

node gpu-test.js 

Test file example gpu-test.js:

const { GPU } = require('gpu.js'); const gpu = new GPU(); const multiplyMatrix = gpu.createKernel(function(a, b) { let sum = 0; for (let i = 0; i < 2; i++) { sum += a[this.thread.y][i] * b[i][this.thread.x]; } return sum; }).setOutput([2, 2]); const a = new Array(2).fill(new Array(2).fill(1)); const c = multiplyMatrix(a, a); console.log(a); console.log(c); 

I found a solution: 1、install corresponding version of node-sass;

see:https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-sass

2、install latest version of sass-loader;

see:https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass-loader

3、install python and add into PATH;

4、run npm install;

I had the same error in my project. The thing is package.json is already installed and dependencies are defined. I found the solution in this article.

https://sebhastian.com/npm-err-code-1/

It suggests to run npx npm-check-updates to update dependencies one by one. Then run npx npm-check-updates -u to update package.json. Then 'npm install' and it runs fine. No error.

For me I was on

• M1 mac
• node version 0.10.48
• ubuntu official docker image

and the command that caused the error was

npm install -g [email protected]

the fix was to untick "Use Rosetta ..." from Docker and click Apply & Restart

For MAC ONLY

Step: 1

sudo rm -r -f /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools 

Step: 2

sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/ 

If you watch some sort of old tutorial and want to install webworker-threads from NPM, you should know that it's a part of Node JS.

const { Worker } = require('worker_threads'); 

You can see more about differences here https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html

For me on Mac the fix was brew install python-setuptools from here
