I've got the following error when trying to run the install script on Ubuntu 20.04:

Successfully installed Deezer Desktop!

Looks like a error in node-gyp package (I have Python 2 and 3 versions installed). However, I remember installing correctly this same deezer app in the past (also on Ubuntu 20.04). Any ideas?

You could try my fork.

@mrkenhoo got some error due nodejs related packages. And, yes, I have the nodejs, yarn, gcc etc packages installed.

## Run `sudo apt-get install -y nodejs` to install Node.js 14.x and npm
## You may also need development tools to build native addons:
     sudo apt-get install gcc g++ make
## To install the Yarn package manager, run:
     curl -sL https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/yarnkey.gpg >/dev/null
     echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/yarnkey.gpg] https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
     sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn

Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

[samuelv8]

Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS

[ghost]

What about the repositories you have set?

[samuelv8]

nodejs: 14.21.2-deb-1nodesource1 (which, btw, seems to be broken, so I use version 16 installed via nvm as default). gcc: 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 make: GNU Make 4.2.1 Built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu yarn: 1.22.19

Those are not APT repositories.

Man. I had this same issue when trying to install it again on my machine and after some searching, I found this thread: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2713

In the end, what make it work for me is:

Open the install.sh and between line 59 and 60, write rm -rf app/node_modules/abstract-socket/build/node_gyp_bins/python3

Then run it again.

That is already implemented on my fork, in the add-rpm-packages-support branch.

[ToMattBan]

Yeah, I saw your PR here and your fork after I come with a solution, but for these that don't want to get your fork or something, I put the solution here XD

[samuelv8]

@ToMattBan I still got the same error here. Appreciate your help, guys, but I'm actually giving up on Deezer now.

[ToMattBan]

@samuelv8 if you are willing to a last try, run every command by hand and when get this error, remove the file mannualy and see if the error persist.
