[ernitingoel]

After using that now I am having the following error

remove the compression plugin for webpack compression-webpack-plugin and install again

[ernitingoel]

What impact it will be having on the functionality?

[PatrickJS]

you need to remove the compression-webpack-plugin from prod as well. the impact is that the files won't be compressed

[aminebizid]

We solved it by installing Python x86 version between 2.5 and 3.0 on windows

[ernitingoel]

FYI, for node-gyp related error, please make sure it met the requirements as mentioned in

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

[dsebastien]

node-gyp on Windows is a nightmare :)
Most of the time, just running npm install --no-optional avoids the issue entirely as node-gyp is often requested through optional dependencies

[PatrickJS]

I removed the compression-webpack-plugin to avoid errors in osx and windows

[AndreiSoroka]

me helped: apt-get install build-essential
p.s. linux

[pthibodeaux]

I am getting the same errors in Windows. I tried several suggestions from above, but still no success

[pthibodeaux]

I see notes that you should "you need to remove the compression-webpack-plugin from prod as well. the impact is that the files won't be compressed"
How do you do this?

[sivan123]

Could some one tell how to remove the compression-webpack-plugin?

[katallaxie]

npm uninstall compression-wepack-plugin and if you have tried to use it, look in the webpack.prod.js. It is though not a dependency in the current master or pre-release.

[puedesleerlo]

I installed it globally. sudo npm install -g node-pre-gyp and it worked.

[srinivasdamam]

If anyone on windows machine run npm install -g node-pre-gyp command in the terminal as administrator. Thank you @puedesleerlo

[joshwiens]

Personal note to document this in the wiki for future Windows users.

[michelgokan]

I have latest version of Mac OS X together with latest version of Xcode and the same issue:

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/releases/download/v1.0.2/bcrypt_lib-v1.0.2-node-v46-darwin-x64.tar.gz 
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for bcrypt@1.0.2 and node@4.7.3 (node-v46 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp) 

[migueltol22]

I had the same issue @michelgokan but following @srinivasdamam post solved the issue for me. Hopefully it works for you

[raffaelprospero]

@dsebastien thanks

[imsarvesh]

try using LTS version of Nodejs instead of current version.

[ktamaral]

We had the same issue. To solve it, we upgraded the version of Node.

[juanchavezlive]

@srinivasdamam solution worked for me

[tinhnqjp]

Same error:
node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://node-inspector.s3.amazonaws.com/debug/v0.7.7/node-v51-linux-x64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for v8-debug@0.7.7 and node@7.3.0 (node-v51 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

I try and OK:
npm install -g node-inspector@0.7.5

[ahgood]

Solution on macOS:
rm -rf /Users/#NAME/.npm/
npm install -g PACKAGE

[xixihaha134]

npm install --no-optional
it work for me

[mrpatel15]

Works for me..

[CaliforniaSoil]

if you cannot solve with npm, use another package manager
brew install yarn
yarn add PACKAGE

[ani-naslyan]

@CaliforniaSoil yarn didn't help either

[PostImpatica]

@CaliforniaSoil Even though I saw @ani-naslyan and his comment saying Yarn didn't work just as a last resort I tried it anyway.

• Delete node_modules directory
• using nvm for windows, I changed to version 6.11.4 of node
• I installed the latest Yarn
• I ran yarn in the root of my project

Behold! Everything magically worked!!!
