7 years ago Yeah, you generally want to have node-gyp installed globally. You're almost guaranteed to need it eventually while working with Node apps.
Anyway, this is more of a warning than an error. When the correct pre-built bcrypt binary isn't available to be downloaded, it falls back to compiling the c++ code locally. The whole log output...
$ meteor npm install

...Note the --fallback-to-build flag that gets used and also this line:
Pre-built binaries not found for bcrypt@1.0.2 and node@4.6.2 (node-v46 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)So I don't think we want to add it as a dependency on the project because you may not always need it and because you should probably have node-gyp installed globally anyway. So maybe a note at the bottom of the readme?
Running
npm installon Ubuntu 16.04 will throw: npm ERR! Failed at the bcrypt@1.0.2 install script 'node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build'.The workaround is to run the following before
npm install:npm install node-gyp node-pre-gypThis will generate a warning:
npm WARN prefer global node-gyp@3.5.0 should be installed with -gInstalling globally requires sudo...
