node.js Solutions
Solution 1 - node.js
Which OS are you using?
If it's Ubuntu you'll need to install the build-essential package:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
Then try to install the package again.
Solution 2 - node.js
I had the same problem using Docker, both on CENTOS 7 and RHEL 7 base images... do the following:
RUN yum install -y make gcc*
Worked perfectly for me!
Note: Instead of installing all 69 packages listed in gcc* you can install only what you need for the install nodejs like below
dnf install -y gcc-c++ make
Solution 3 - node.js
If you are using Windows and npm, install it through cmd (Administrator):
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
Solution 4 - node.js
For Manjaro/Arch Linux you need to install make and gcc
sudo pacman -S make gcc
