npm install ipfs --save failed

This is my installation environment：

It's failing to install tiny-secp256k1 with an ECONNRESET error which usually indicates a network problem

Can you install that module successfully on it's own? Eg:

$ npm i tiny-secp256k1

Also, you're installing ipfs as root - npm usually drops to an unprivileged user to run package scripts which can mess up installing modules that need to compile native code (such as tiny-secp256k1).

Either don't install as root (preferable) or use the --unsafe-perm flag (definitely not preferable).

ping @waliguder did that resolve your issue?

Hi @alanshaw. It does not.

I am having the same issue installing on macOS.

Attempting (with and without --unsafe-perm flag): yarn add tiny-secp256k1 gets the following output:

Furthermore, running npm i tiny-secp256k1 outputs:

Try the method I gave here.

Reinstalling node resolved the error.

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
brew reinstall node

ipfs / js-ipfs

npm install ipfs --save failed #1769
