Just install build-essential package : 

sudo apt install build-essential

and install bcrypt :

npm i -S bcrypt

After searching Google for an hour I did the following 3 things and it began to work after the very last one. I know you're not on Windows, but maybe someone else who comes here will see this from a Windows machine like I did.

1.) I made sure Python was downloaded to C:\Python2.7 and the path variable for Python was set.

2.) I did 

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools`

It actually only got through the Python part of this piece, the next install (whatever it may be, I don't know because it took too long) was saying it was installing for an hour, so I just stopped it and moved onto step 3. and thankfully it worked.

3.) I added the below to my package.json as shown on another github thread. After doing this, and making sure the PYTHON variable was right it started to work. ```

"env": {
    "PYTHON": "C:/python2.7"
  },
  "subdomain": "bcrypt-test",
  "engines": {
    "node": "0.6.x"
  },
  "repository": {},
  "domains": [],
  "databases": {}
}
