Errors running npm install (node-gyp) on MacOS

[kibernick]

Hi, I'm following along your Kubernetes articles and get an error running npm install https://rinormaloku.com/setting-up-react-application/

npm version: 6.13.1
OS: MacOS

I can send you the npm install log if you like, but after looking at some of the errors, I managed to fix this problem by looking at the quick fix listed here: nodejs/node-gyp#792 (and nodejs/nan#735)

Hi @kibernick

What was the fix? Should I update the project or the article?

The fix was the following, not sure if a MacOS only issue, but would be worthwhile to add to the docs/article:

So a quick solution for all node-gyp issues around some of the packages in which is thrown, is to update all those packages with:

$ npm install -g npm-check-updates
$ npm-check-updates -u
$ npm install

i deleted the global folder (yarn) and removed deps from its package.json file. And it did the trick

I started deleting packages from my packages.json to find out which package is the culprit. Long story short, it was sass-loader. I've installed a different version and problem was resolved

In case others run into this issue:

npm install -g npm-check-updates failed with a permission denied issue on MacOS. If you get that error, it's likely this: Missing write access for local lib node modules

Once that was fixed, the above commands worked like a charm
