Fix Gyp Error with NVM

Find the dependency that is depends on gyp and remove it from your package.json file. then run npm install. Commands like this will try find it for you but might not find it.

1
npm ls node-gyp

Mac shit

node-gyp also requires x-code command line tools to be installed.

The install should work. Now you can install that package removed separately.

When you run npm install after cloning a repo and you get the gyp ERR! not ok this error can be caused by the node version you are running.

Prerequisites

nvm (node version manager) is installed

Check your node version

1
node -v

Fix NPM gyp ERR!
