[Install] Error installing using gulp

[the-rockkk]

I am following the instructions to install: https://semantic-ui.com/introduction/getting-started.html#install-semantic-ui

When I run npm install semantic-ui --save I get an error:

> semantic-ui@2.4.2 install c:\[sanitized]\node_modules\semantic-ui

fs.js:27
const { Math, Object } = primordials;
                         ^

Versions:

• Node: v12.3.1
• Npm: v6.9.0
• Gulp: 4.0.2

For me, it's been installed and working fine for a long time. Today I did my periodic yarn upgrade and got this error.

Problem solved by falling back to Node v10. Turns out Node v12 requires Gulp 4, and Semantic-UI is not compatible with Gulp 4 yet. See the closed issue for Gulp 3 is broken on Node 12.

gulp@3.9.1 in devDependencies and nodejs 10.15.2 works here.

[the-rockkk]

Downgraded to node 10 and it works.

[flashspys]

When will semantic support gulp 4?

[lubber-de]

@flashspys The community fork https://github.com/fomantic/Fomantic-UI already supports gulp 4 since v 2.7.0

Encountering this error with node version 12.13.0

Hi, installation freeze console in Windows 10. npm install -g gulp npm install semantic-ui --save

• Choose options ...

Freeze :

Thanks for your responses, cordially, raf

Any news ? I've encountered this bug and I don't want to downgrade node

[lubber-de]

Then the community fork seems to be your only option https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/issues/6818#issuecomment-498204168

[the-rockkk]

I moved to Fomantic and it installs without an issue. So far my site is running fine. It is obviously a solvable issue, I would have stayed with Semantic if it were fixed, but downgrading node is not a great option.

[DanteMarshal]

I moved to Fomantic too and everything works now. Thanks.

For anyone who doesn't want to migrate, you can add

  "resolutions": {
    "graceful-fs": "4.2.2"
  },

to package.json if you use yarn.

Found this way to make it work without downgrading node and using npm.
