Bcrypt Installation error `node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Question

I am trying to Install bcrypt but getting errors. I have also tired to install older version but still getting same error.

I had tried to globally install dependancy NPM "node-gyp" but still getting errors.

OS: Mac 10.13.4 Node 10.9.0 NPM 6.2.0

Thanks

Solution 1

It is because of the bcrypt module dependency node-gyp. I suggest you use a library bcryptjs which has no dependencies and more downloads.

npm i bcryptjs --save

and dont forget to uninstall

npm uninstall bcrypt --save 

On top of that brcypt has more dependecies like python 2.x. This will be also an issue on deployment also. It is better to use libraries with no dependencies.

Solution 2

Try with below command

 npm install --save bcrypt-nodejs && npm uninstall --save bcrypt

This is excellent, especially when you are using docker alpine images that don't have python installed. Thank you

Node: While bcrypt.js is compatible to the C++ bcrypt binding, it is written in pure JavaScript and thus slower (about 30%), effectively reducing the number of iterations that can be processed in an equal time span.
