Managed to install it correctly on my system (Debian Bullseye), same Node and NPM versions.

Ensure you have Node-gyp's dependencies satisfied (can't remember if python3-dev packages are necessary) and maybe give this a try:

npm cache clean --force

Can't think of anything else. Good luck homie.

I managed to install node-gyp and node-pre-gyp with no issues but sqlite3 still fails to install. 😢

It happened again to me with bcrypt and looks it's happening to many people out there:

mapbox/node-pre-gyp#661

Same for me, but i use Ubuntu 22.04 version, someone found solution for this?

[MikaMikuMik]

okay, i somehow managed it this way:

1. download package source zip
2. npm install in package sources folder
3. copy to MY project node_modules folder
4. its works.

I hope normal install from "npm i" will be fixed soon...

@MikaMikuMik It doesn't work for me. My OS is Ubuntu 22.04LTS, and my Node version is 18.16.0.

@MikaMikuMik It doesn't work for me. My OS is Ubuntu 22.04LTS, and my Node version is 18.16.0.

I'm using the same config as yours, my node was set from snap packages, what error it gives to you? and when?

upd: I've added some details to my prev post.

I tried to install it on Ubuntu but it didn't work, I always got the errors mentioned above. However, it worked in a Docker container.

I have the same issue maybe @kkaefer or any other maintainer can check this out.

Same here, Ubuntu 22.04LTS.
yarn install works though
