Binary is not included when installing fibers on Ubuntu 18.04 with Node 15 #446

Node 15 is not an LTS release, but it is an important update as it includes a new version of NPM that changes the package-lock file format. As such, many teams such as ours have upgraded to Node 15.

When installing Fibers via NPM, things work correctly on Windows/Node 15. But when running on Ubuntu (and I suspect most other Linux variants), the following error occurs:

.../node_modules/fibers/bin/linux-x64-88-glibc/fibers.node is missing`

The suggestion to run node .../node_modules/fibers/build does not work.

However, running node-gyp rebuild and then manually creating the /bin/linux-x64-88-glibc/ directory and copying the build/Release/fibers.node file seems to have restored functionaltiy. Perhaps the package just needs to have binaries updated for Node 15?

It sounds like you have multiple versions of node installed. This tends to happen when npm is using a different version of node than node on your command line.
