I have a similar error. I use Docker (node:4 image) and here is the npm install output: https://gist.github.com/lordjancso/c86ec3fba93c5b2aa35e3c07fc70ae13#file-log-txt-L7123

If you search for node-gyp you will see there is a WARN during installing scrypt (as scrypt-for-humans dependency).

This is the error message:

module.js:327
    throw err;
    ^

    at Module.load (module.js:343:32)

But I've found a workaround. If I run these two commands right after npm install:

cd node_modules/scrypt-for-humans/node_modules/scrypt
node-gyp configure build

Same issue happens here

[murich]

Same here. Problem with installing scrypt

[k06a]

Same for me:

$ npm i

> scrypt@6.0.3 preinstall ****/node_modules/scrypt
> node node-scrypt-preinstall.js

Error: Error: Command failed: ./configure
/bin/sh: ./configure: Permission denied

Maybe you can check this readme out.

[Samuel-Pedraza]

Hi all,

I solved this problem by typing in my command line: > npm install scrypt This updated the package, and allowed me to proceed with coding.

@Samuel-Pedraza I tried your solution

[dbryan0516]

The changes in #144 worked for me

[rayeaster]

sudo npm install -g web3 --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

This issue is solved after installing node-gyp on my machine. https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation
