Install npm dependencies - npm install error

[ItFlyingStart]

I got the next error when running npm install. Can you tell how to fix this issue?

Looks like some node-gyp issue, maybe try updating? https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/wiki/Updating-npm%27s-bundled-node-gyp. If that doesn't work, you can open an issue here: https://github.com/cryptocoinjs/secp256k1-node

@jstarry : thanks. I have tried your solution, but I still get the same error. I have opened a new issue: https://github.com/cryptocoinjs/secp256k1-node/issues/178 like suggested.

[jstarry]

Ah bummer, does it reproduce every time (even after removing node_modules)? Have you tried using node v14?

[ItFlyingStart]

node v14

Yes, switch to node v14 works :-). Thanks for your help.

[jstarry]

Ah, excellent! No problem
