scrypt@6.0.3 installation error #3408

prographo · 2020-03-09T11:39:29Z

I am having problems installing Ethereum web3 on Ubuntu 18.04.4, it needs scrypt@6.0.3 which fails. My node version is v13.8.0

I've looked on stackoverflow, there is similar but not identical. Below is the output of npm install scrypt@6.0.3

$ npm install scrypt@6.0.3

> scrypt@6.0.3 preinstall /home/ubuntu/Project/node-code/node_modules/scrypt
> node node-scrypt-preinstall.js


> scrypt@6.0.3 install /home/ubuntu/Project/node-code/node_modules/scrypt
> node-gyp rebuild

If you do npm i web3 it installs scrypt in some other way, which still gives a different error, but which appears just to be advisory, so I think it's probably ok.

joaopestana · 2020-06-30T20:01:12Z

I dont know why but it did, eventually after doing npm i web3 and re-runing the commands to update the npm it eventually solved the problem! 48 hours with this problem and it's finally solved... wow thanks

in case someone stumbles upon this from google: you need to use the latest commit from node-scrypt which has a fix for node v12 support. Owner of the repo struggles with updating NPM package.

npm install github:barrysteyn/node-scrypt#fb60a8d3c158fe115a624b5ffa7480f3a24b03fb

in case someone stumbles upon this from google: you need to use the latest commit from node-scrypt which has a fix for node v12 support. Owner of the repo struggles with updating NPM package.

npm install github:barrysteyn/node-scrypt#fb60a8d3c158fe115a624b5ffa7480f3a24b03fb

omg ty

Spent some time: updated Xcode, installed command-line tools, restarted the machine...

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

nvm install 10

nvm use 10

environment
node: v14.15.3
npm: 6.14.9

I confirm that I managed to npm install inside a repository that had a dependency on scrypt@6.0.3 without the mentioned error..
what I did was:
npm cache clean -f
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install github:barrysteyn/node-scrypt#fb60a8d3c158fe115a624b5ffa7480f3a24b03fb as mentioned earlier
npm install to install the rest of the dependencies

Thank you, it worked 😍

Using that scrypt version fixes the install problem. Although, I can't use it because it seems to create different encrypted results if compared to the normal one.
My password verification function, that uses scrypt does not match passwords anymore if using that.
I can't use that scrypt version
