Npm-debug.log File

I'm following the Javascript tutorial but I still have the same error running the npm install command and someone can review this command when they have time.
In the terminal you ask me to add the npm-debug.log file.

@miguelmartins17 this screenshot does not tell us very much about how you got to this point.
What command did you run to see that error?
npm install? did you run it in an empty directory?
Or in a directory of a repository you cloned from GitHub?
Did you git clone this repository?
e.g: git clone git@github.com:dwyl/javascript-todo-list-tutorial.git

What version of node.js are you running? (run node -v)

Consider re-installing node.js from https://nodejs.org

What did Google tell you when you pasted the error message and searched for a solution?

Failed at the bufferutil@4.0.1 install script 'node-gyp-build'

e.g: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39739626/what-is-node-gyp/39741537
node-gyp is a tool which compiles Node.js Addons. Node.js Addons are native Node.js Modules, written in C or C++, which therefore need to be compiled on your machine.

I know that the https://github.com/dwyl/javascript-todo-list-tutorial does not have any Native Addons,
so I'm very surprised to be seeing a node-gyp error ... 😕

Also, when the error message tells you to "Please include the following file with any support requests"
That generally means include the contents of the npm-debug.log not a screenshot of the error message ... try running:

pbcopy < npm-debug.log

Then paste the contents of the npm-debug.log file in the issue so that someone can help you debug.

@nelsonic I wrote which command I ran, it was the npm Install.
I cloned the javascript-todo-list-tutorial repository, I ran the npm install command inside the repository.

First I cloned the repository.
Then I used the command cd javascript-todo-list-tutorial.
And then I ran the npm install command which is where those errors appeared.

At the moment the version I'm using from node.js and the version 0.12.1.
This well I'll try now to use the command (pbcopy < npm-debug.log).

Please update your version of node.js. https://nodejs.org ⬆️
(version 0.12.1 is from 2015 ... that was the last time I used the laptop you are working on) ⏳
You should no longer see any node-gyp issues once you download the latest version of node.js.

@nelsonic Thanks, the mistake really doesn't come up anymore, I'll keep going then. 👍

Thanks for confirming you are no longer seeing the node-gyp error. ✅
