Node 10 - `node-gyp rebuild` error during npm install

I've recently upgraded to Node 10 and when I run npm install I get the following error:

make: *** [Release/obj.target/memwatch/src/init.o] Error 1
gyp ERR! build error 
gyp ERR! stack Error: `make` failed with exit code: 2

Working on 'macOS Mojave', I worked on the same project with Node10 without any issues. Please advise what can be causing the error?

I recommend the following:

  1. remove node_modules folder

  2. npm install --force

  3. npm update -g npm --force

  4. If on Windows: npm -g install --production windows-build-tools

  5. run node .js file

Use NVM for managing node. It is really helpful. I had the same error but solved it by using the latest Node LTS version. That can be done with NVM easily by a single command.

nvm install --lts

I had the same problem. First I removed package.json and run npm install but it doesn't help. Only a return to the previous stable node version helped me. (nvm is very useful)

I think delete this directory is better: 

rm -rf ~/.node-gyp/
rm -r node_modules/.bin/;
rm -r build/

and you can test 

npm install -g node-gyp

and 

npm install -g node-pre-gyp

finally:

npm install <your module>

I had the same issue & it was solved by deleting the yarn.lock file & then running the yarn install again

without knowing the actual node-gyp error, make sure you've installed the node-gyp dependencies for your platform.
