I just bought myself a mac book after using Windows for a long time   I was trying to work on a MeanJS project that I had been working on   Doing npm install on the project throws error  Failed to execute   usr local bin node  usr local lib node modules npm node modules node-gyp bin node-gyp js build --fallback-to-build --module  Users Aayush Work lishn repo lishn-alpha node modules grunt-node-inspector node modules node-inspector node modules v8-debug build debug v0 4 6 node-v46-darwin-x64 debug node --module name debug --module path  Users Aayush Work lishn repo lishn-alpha node modules grunt-node-inspector node modules node-inspector node modules v8-debug build debug v0 4 6 node-v46-darwin-x64   1  npm ERR  Darwin 15 0 0 npm ERR  argv   usr local bin node    usr local bin npm   install  npm ERR  node v4 1 1 npm ERR  npm  v2 14 4 npm ERR  code ELIFECYCLE  gt    gt  npm ERR  v8-debug 0 4 6 install   node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build  npm ERR  Exit status 1 npm ERR   npm ERR  Failed at the v8-debug 0 4 6 install script  node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build   npm ERR  This is most likely a problem with the v8-debug package  npm ERR  not with npm itself  npm ERR  Tell the author that this fails on your system  npm ERR      node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build npm ERR  You can get their info via  npm ERR      npm owner ls v8-debug npm ERR  There is likely additional logging output above    I tried clearing cache   I tried installing node-pre-gyp with sudo and --unsafe-perm  I also tried to fresh install a MEAN project  with the same error   I can t seem to find what the problem is here   Node Version - 5 0 0  NPM Version - 3 3 10

This seems issue with my node upgrade  How ever I solved it with the following approach   First uninstall the cli  clear cashe  and reinstall with these commands   npm uninstall -g  angular cli npm cache clean npm install -g  angular cli   Then install node-pre-gyp  npm install -g node-pre-gyp   Restart your terminal and see if the issue is solved

Hope my scenario can help someone else  I had the same problem with the package bcrypt  First  I have tried with npm i -g node-gyp as suggested by Anne but the problem persisted  Then I read again the error message to have a better understanding of the problem and discovered that the script fails to build the package from scratch - since a precompiled version doesn t exist  In particular  it can t find the g   command so I solved installing the build-essential package with sudo apt install build-essential -y

I recently had this error on a fresh OSX install of Node using homebrew   Brew installed the latest at the time 13 8 0    I downgraded the last  stable  release of node   sudo npm install -g n     Installs Node Version Switcher sudo n stable             To switch to latest stable version   Then the rest of my npm installs finished and passed the dreaded gprc errors

are you running the example from the node modules folder   They are not supposed to be ran from there   Create the following file on your project instead   post-data js  var Curl   require   node-libcurl    Curl     querystring   require   querystring      var curl   new Curl      url     http   posttestserver com post php   data       Data to send  inputName   value      input-arr 0      input-arr-val0        input-arr 1      input-arr-val1        input-arr 2      input-arr-val2        input-name     input-val        You need to build the query string      node has this helper function  but it s limited for real use cases  no support for  array values for example  data   querystring stringify  data      curl setOpt  Curl option URL  url     curl setOpt  Curl option POSTFIELDS  data     curl setOpt  Curl option HTTPHEADER    User-Agent  node-libcurl 1 0       curl setOpt  Curl option VERBOSE  true      console log  querystring stringify  data        curl perform      curl on   end   function  statusCode  body      console log  body     this close         curl on   error   curl close bind  curl        Run with node post-data js  ref https   github com JCMais node-libcurl issues 98

As  ocean800 stated I updated node  The below solution is for Ubuntu 16 04 that worked for me  but something similar on OSX may fix this issue   On Ubuntu 16 04  what worked for me was upgrading node  updating nodejs on ubuntu 16 04  I am replicating solution from the above link below  To update  you can install n   sudo npm install -g n   Then just    sudo n latest   or a specific version  sudo n 8 9 0   Then try and install   sudo npm install  lt package gt
