"npm install" don't install file node_mdule (node-gyp error)

Question

I have been trying to solve this error for 2 days. I check a lot of solutions inside internet (and stackoverflow) and I'm desperate looking for help.

So, inside my project when I write:

npm install

I had errer:

Answer 1

For those trying to install node-gyp with no internet access:

To setup node headers for node-gyp:

• Get the node headers file: curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.17.3/node-v14.17.3-headers.tar.gz (make sure you have the correct node version appropriate, and you need a machine with internet)
• Copy header tarball to offline machine (approach may vary depending on your situation an example may be to winscp to vm)
• Create the node-gyp folder that the library looks for if it's not already existing: mkdir -p ~/.cache/node-gyp/14.17.3 (PITFALL: in some versions node-gyp folder is under ~/.node-gyp)
• tar the file to node-gyp folder: tar -xf node-v14.17.3-headers.tar.gz --directory ~/.cache/.node-gyp/6.10.1/ --strip-components 1 (make sure you have the correct versions here)
• create the installVersion manually: echo 9 >~/.node-gyp/6.10.1/installVersion (usually it is created automatically if you have internet access)

Answer 2

Please try using npm init -y first(creates a 'package.json' file that tracks all the dependencies) and then try the npm install command.
