npm install error: sqlite never downloads


When running npm install to download project dependencies, sqlite3 encounters an error and never installs. Trying npm install sqlite3 produces same error.

Running on Linux Beta (Debian v10 buster) on ChromeOS.

Installs fine on others' machines. Expect it has something to do with ChromeOS.

Solution

  • npm can't download a prebuilt binary and thus falls back to building it with node-gyp. This is where the build fails.

    Note the line in your log where it says: gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make

    It seems as if you don't have make installed. Since you're on Debian, you should be able to install make by running: sudo apt-get install build-essential.

    This question has already been extensively discussed in the following question: npm failed to install time with make not found error

    Make sure to take a close look at error messages :)
