trying to install bcrypt into node project + node set up issues - node.js

Question

I have seen some very similar questions but none that I have found seem to work. I am trying to npm install bcrypt but i keep getting the error below.
bycrypt is the command that I use to install bcrypt modules. I do have Xcode and installing node-gyp does not seem to make a difference
regan#the-Voyagur buddha-bar (feature/styles) $ npm install --save bcrypt

Answer 1

OP managed to fix this for themselves with:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
but graciously accepted my answer anyway.
Original answer below:
There are two distinct problems here. One is that your node is slightly out of date and your npm is substantially out of date.
You're using OSX, so there are a number of popular ways to manage different node versions. Here's a guide on updating node https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/Troubleshooting#updating-node-on-osx
Then you'll want to update to the latest npm:
npm install -g npm#latest
Finally, it looks like although you have XCode installed, something is still awry. You report that this command yields
$ xcode-select --print-path
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
On my system, which is OSX/Yosemite and can build native addon modules, I see
$ xcode-select --print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
You may need to switch your xcode path to a different directory. For starters, though, please update to the current node and npm tools and try the installation again; if it still fails, the least dangerous next thing to try is
xcode-select --install
If none of that fixes things, let me know and I'll try to help further.

I was having a similar issue but with a different package.
node-gyp rebuild

Running macOS Catalina 10.15.2, I tried the following:
$ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed,
use "Software Update" to install updates
Fixed it by doing the following:
$ [sudo] xcode-select --reset
Hope this helps someone in the future.
EDIT
If someone is still running into issues, there's a thread on GitHub that has other solutions worth trying:

Answer 3

I had a simliar problem. Solving it was simple in the end.
Just had to run
xcode-select --install
to install the newest tools and then
sudo xcodebuild -license
to agree to the new License terms. Afterwards bcrypt got installed without any problems.

Answer 4

If sudo xcode-select --switch $(xcode-select -print-path) does not work for you, try re-install xcode:
$ sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select -print-path)
$ xcode-select --install

Answer 5

I managed to solve this by just opening Xcode, going to Preferences -> Locations -> Command Line Tools, and choosing it from the drop-down (it was empty before).

Answer 6

Following these steps helped me to resolve this issue on MacOS
sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select -print-path)
xcode-select --install
/usr/sbin/pkgutil --packages | grep CL
sudo npm install -g node-gyp

Answer 7

Install xcode from(I prefer) https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ or xcode-select --install on terminal.
Then follow in order.
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
sudo xcodebuild -license
/usr/sbin/pkgutil --packages | grep CL
sudo npm install -g node-gyp
