I'm new on NodeJS/ElectronJS.
I need to use User.dll functions.
My actual situation is:
Windows 10 on Parallels
Node -v = 10.15.3 (LTS)
NPM -v = 6.9.0
I installed:
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
npm install win32-api
npm install ffi (gives me several "\ffi.cc(***): warning C4996: 'v8::Value::To Object': .... deprecated)
I added var FFI = require('node-ffi'); in my "main.js" and when I try to compile with npm start
I obtain this error:
Error: Cannot find module 'node-ffi' at Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:584:15)
What's wrong?
The following steps fixed my issue (major pain in the ***)
Make sure the node gyp compiler is installed
npm install -g node-gyp
Install the FFI package into the local project
npm install --save ffi
I also needed to install ref-array (part of example code)
npm install ref-array --save
Go into the node_modules/ffi directory and do an NPM install to make sure it's got all it's dependencies
cd node_modules/ffi
npm install
Get back out of the node_modules/ffi folder
cd ../../
Install the electron rebuild tools
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
Run the electron rebuild script (I'm running on Windows, hence .cmd)
.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd
So simple (NOT) :D
Solved with this:
How do I resolve "Cannot find module" error using Node.js?
using npm install
and then
Node - was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 51
using
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

I am getting a strange error when trying to install npx. I have node, but it says I don't.
➜ Desktop brew install npm
Warning: node 14.4.0 is already installed and up-to-date
To reinstall 14.4.0, run `brew reinstall node`
➜ Desktop npm install -g npx
zsh: command not found: npm
Why is that happening?
npx is pre-bundled with npm .no need to install npx. if u want to start a new react project (I presume)give npx create-react-app project name given that you installed the latest node version.
When I run commands like:
npm run dev
npm run watch
to compile my project. I receive an error that says the laravel-mix directory does not exist.
Error: Cannot find module 'PATH/node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js'
I have deleted the node_modules directory and used npm install to attempt to get it to install properly and it still is not there. "Laravel-mix" is in the package.json file as a dependency, so to my knowledge running npm install or npm install laravel-mix should do the trick, but it isn't working. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated.
npm -v 6.14.1
node -v 12.16.2
Have you already run the following?
npm install laravel-mix
npm install cross-env
I am looking at nodejs addon examples at https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node-addon-examples.
The read-me section says that I must install node-gyp globally:
$ sudo npm install node-gyp -g
However, after installing node-gyp globally, does one also need to install it within the local project?
$ cd myproject
$ npm install node-gyp
It is good to install the node-gyp globally because main purpose of the node-gyp is to build the node native modules. node-gyp also need some tool like visual studio (in case of building on Windows)
and python which also installed globally.
after install globally no need to install it locally.
I want to install node 6.9.4.
In windows console I try with this:
npm install node#v6.9.4
And it throws this error:
npm ERR! No compatible version found: node#v6.9.4
npm ERR! Valid install targets:
npm ERR! 0.0.0
In linux the result is similar. I try with
sudo npm install node#v6.9.4
and the output is:
npm ERR! version not found: node#6.9.4-cls
Is there a way to install certain node version with npm?
You should use nvm to install and manage node versions and not npm
NPM is the package manager for node and not a version manager.
To install a particular version of node using nvm, just do
nvm install v0.10.32
NPM should be used to install packages/modules.
So say you need to use request module for a particular project
You can do
npm install request
Both these support tons of options which could be found over the documentations
I recommend you use nvm: Nodev Version Manager
It would be as easy as
nvm install 6.9.4
It's a really good tool to manager all of your node versions.
I installed the node as new version. once i installed i checked in cmd for like this:
C:\Users\Mohamed.Arif>node --version && npm --version
v0.10.35
1.4.28
But after I installed the node, npm I am trying to install the latest yeoman. in their website, i noted the npm version requires v2.1.0+ - i confused here. how to i install the npm as they requested?
I am running the latest version of node only.
Install prerequisites
Before installing Yeoman, you will need the following:
Node.js v0.10.x+
npm (which comes bundled with Node) v2.1.0+
git
You can check if you have Node and npm installed by typing:
http://yeoman.io/codelab/setup.html
What is wrong here? I am working with windows7.
Thanks in advance!
See How do I update npm on Windows?
tl;dr - npm -g install npm does work, but the old version of npm is still in your PATH.
Option 3: navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs with cmd.exe and then run
the installation without -g:
npm install npm
