Npm install global production windows build tools зависает

При установке npm-пакетов относительно часто вижу сообщения об ошибках, связанных с node-gyp.js. Пример с установкой gulp-combine-mq: https://gist.github.com/nicothin/1353fb8d63d7ece71792 Пакет, поставленный с такими ошибками, конечно, не работает.
Я нашел инструкцию https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation но там требуется ставить Visual Studio Community 2015, а это 16 ГБ — take.ms/Xyjat, что как-то некомильфо.
Есть ли какие-то другие способы, кроме переноса рабочего процесса в виртуалку с Ubuntu?

Может, где-то можно взять уже собранный вариант этой утилиты, чтобы не убивать несколько часов времени и 16 гигов места ради элементарнейшей функции объединения медиа-конструкций в CSS?

This is my package.json:

{
"name": "my-example-app",
"version": "0.1.0",
"dependencies": {

  "request": "*",
  "nano": "3.3.x",
  "async": "~0.2"
  }
}

Now, when I open the cmd and run npm install, the install hangs. What am I doing wrong?

You can try deleting package-lock.json and running npm install afterwards.
This worked for me.

npm cache clear --force has fixed this issue for me in the past.

Furthermore, when running npm install on an air-gapped network (by the way, I provide a description about how to do this with Verdaccio), I had an issue where the install would hang at the very end. Turning off auditing (i.e. npm set audit false) on the machine on the air-gapped network resolved this issue.

When your ssh key is password protected run ssh-add. npm probably hangs somewhere asking for your password.

With due respect to all the answers, I switched to a different network and it worked for me.

This method is working for me when npm blocks in installation Package for IONIC installation and ReactNative and another package npm.

You can change temporary:

npm config set prefix C:Users[username]AppDataRoamingnpmnode_modules2

• Change the path in environment variables. Set:

  C:Users[username]AppDataRoamingnpmnode_modules2

• Run the command to install your package.

• Open file explorer, copy the link:

  C:Users[username]AppDataRoamingnpmnode_modules

  ok file yourpackage.CMD created another folder Created «node_modules2» in node_modules and contain your package folder.

• Copy your package file CMD to parent folder «npm».

• Copy your package folder to parent folder «node_modules».

• Now run:

  npm config set prefix C:Users[username]AppDataRoamingnpm

• Change the path in environment variables. Set:

  C:Users[username]AppDataRoamingnpm

Now the package is working correctly with the command line.

I’m not sure if your problem is being caused by the same reason that mine was, but I too was experiencing a hanging «npm install» and was able to fix it.

In my case, I wanted to install typescript locally in the project:

npm i typescript --save-dev

For some reason this was conflicting with a global install of typescript that I had, and the shell was just hanging forever instead of finishing or erroring…

I fixing it by first removing the globally installed typescript with the -g global flag:

npm uninstall typescript -g

After doing this the first command worked! 👍

For anyone on MacOS (I’m on Mojave 10.14), the following helped me out:
https://github.com/reactioncommerce/reaction/issues/1938#issuecomment-284207213

You’d run these commands

echo kern.maxfiles=65536 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo kern.maxfilesperproc=65536 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=65536
sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfilesperproc=65536
ulimit -n 65536

Then try npm install once more.

check your environment variables for http and https

The existing entries might be creating some issues. Try deleting those entries.

Run «npm install» again.

Check your .npmrc file for a registry entry (which identifies a server acting as a package cache.)

For me, npm install would hang partway through, and it was because of a old / non-responsive server listed in my .npmrc file. Remove the line or comment it out:

>cat ~/.npmrc
#registry=http://oldserver:4873

(And/or check with your IT / project lead as to why it’s not working

I was having this error because I was running npm in a (docker) container in WSL2, and docker in WSL2 was configuring the wrong nameservers in the containers, making the container unable to resolve hosts.

To see if your container (or even your host) can resolve hosts, you can try running: curl https://github.com. In my case I received curl: (6) Could not resolve host: github.com.

The error in the docker container doesn’t happen if I don’t use the default bridge, instead I used a custom bridge and defined the container with it, in which case the resolv.conf file ends up with the correct nameserver:

$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
nameserver 127.0.0.11
options ndots:0

The ip 127.0.0.11 corresponds to the docker DNS server, solving the problem in my case.

If you aren’t running npm in a container, your issue may still be related to some misconfigured resolv.conf file (if you are in a Linux machine, or in Windows with WSL/WSL2).

In case anyone else encounters this, I left the npm install to run for long enough, and then the Jest extension crashed (v4.2.1), at which point the npm install completed successfully.

The Jest configuration seems to show that a test auto-watch feature was enabled. I haven’t changed any Jest settings as far as I’m aware, so this must be out-of-the-box functionality.

Попробовал npm install mongoose —msvs_version = 2012, если у вас установлено несколько Visual, это сработало для меня

Мне удалось решить проблему, установив Node.js 6 вместо Node.js 10

1) установите «Lite-сервер», а затем попробуйте выполнить команду:
npm run lite
