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!

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

I was gone through same problem solved after lot efforts  It is because of npm version is not compatible with gprc version  So we need to update the npm   npm update npm install

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

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

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
