npm install fails at node-pre-gyp

[leo-petrucci]

I'm unsure if this is a bug or my own fault. I'm unsure how to solve it so hopefully someone can give me a hand.

When I run npm install, most of the installation runs fine until it gets to the above mentioned node-pre-gyp. At that point node outputs this error:

I've noticed this bit in particular:

gyp

Which leads me to believe
A) There's no node-pre-gyp version for my Node version (13.9.0)
B) I'm missing krb5-config, which I'm not sure if I should install or not

I do have python installed by the way:

python
Python 2.7.17 (default, Nov  7 2019, 10:07:09) 
[GCC 9.2.1 20191008] on linux2

Is the problem related to my version of Node? Any way to fix it that won't require me to uninstall node entirely?

Hey @creativiii,

I'm not sure what's your OS, but I had exactly the same problems on my Ubuntu 18.04.
I've got the same Python version, that wasn't the problem for me.
What helped me, was installing Kerberos (krb5) - sudo apt-get install libkrb5-dev.

I'm not an expert, but since I just finished troubleshooting the same/similar problem, I'll dump my notes here and maybe they'll help you or others.

------------------------------- Brain Dump Below -------------------------------

I think the problem is in the machine config or (less likely) upstream in node-gyp.
(Dependencies: gutenberg/packges/env -> nodegit -> node-pre-gyp -> node-gyp)

node-gyp is used for building C++ Node.js addons.

node-pre-gyp makes things easier for majority of users - if someone before you compiled sources for the given combination of OS, architecture (x86, x64,...) and Node.js version, then the binaries are only downloaded from the cloud.
If you're ther first one, then the sources need to be compiled and then they are uploaded for others.

So imho there are two potential sets of problems:

• machine has problems loading pre-compiled binaries from the cloud
• machine can't compile the sources

Try:

• Install nvm and the latest Node.js as Gutenberg's Getting Started guide suggests (nvm install --latest-npm)
• Retry npm i in Gutenberg project
• If that doesn't help, check if your machine is configured as node-gyp suggests https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation (you can skip the npm install -g ...).
• Retry npm i in Gutenberg project

That still didn't help me so I tried to install bunch of things - the very last package libkrb5-dev (Kerberos) did the trick:

brew reinstall libgcrypt gcc
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev curl libcurl3 libgcrypt-dev libkrb5-dev

Hope it helps somone,
Cheers!

@watofundefined - Can confirm that I had the same issue, specifically with npm -g i @wordpress/env on a clean copy of Ubuntu 20.04 via Windows 10 WSL2.

sudo apt-get install libkrb5-dev resolved it for me and let the install complete as intended.

Once I closed and reopened terminal wp-env worked as expected.

I can also confirm that installing libkrb5-dev worked.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS in WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and was struggling with the same problem. I had installed all the dependencies from the above packages (node-gyp, node-pre-gyp and nodegit) and I was starting to lose my mind. I think libkrb5-dev should be added as a dependencies so other people won't have to search for hours.

This was fixed in #26712 - the version of nodegit we were specifying was outdated and needed updated. Using the new version allows to pull pre-built binaries and no extra installs are needed.

Note: There is a side issue in #26660 to move off nodegit to simple-git that would further simplify this.
