Bcrypt not installing | Throwing 404 for the referred resource in npm

[akashdeepsinghal]

I am on CentOS Linux System v7.2, running Node v7.6.0 and NPM v4.4.4.
I am trying to install Bcrypt using sudo npm install brcypt but on the step node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build is called, it throws:

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/releases/download/v1.0.2/bcrypt_lib-v1.0.2-node-v48-linux-x64.tar.gz
Not even opening in browser, hence this release-resource is certainly not available. But it is defined in some of the code. Some help really appreciated.
(Please find attached the screenshot)

you have read the issue #476 ?

[karimcitoh]

@akigupta131 Did you find a solution for this? I have exactly the same error. And it only happens to me in Docker.

[karimcitoh]

@karimcitoh you need to add g++ and make packges in your Dockerfile. Add appropriate RUN commands as per the base image. Check this page for setup instructions: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager

I have all the necessary dependancies.

Funny thing, cloning repository, checking v1.0.2 and building works perfectly:

Cloning into 'node.bcrypt.js'...
Note: checking out 'v1.0.2'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at 9036615... v1.0.2

[karimcitoh]

This worked for me!

export USER=root
export HOME=/tmp

[recrsn]

@karimcitoh gyp refuses to run as root. I tried installing as root and got the same error. Try adding a user and using a USER instruction and switching to it before performing a npm install. See
https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/eng-image/dockerfile_best-practices/#user

Build version 1.0.2 don't contain linux platform

[recrsn]

@cakiem8x We are aware of the issue. See this page for installing compile time dependencies to install bcrypt in linux: https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/wiki/Installation-Instructions

@defunctzombie Please upload linux binaries when you get time, as a temporary measure. See #483 on how to fetch them.

[brocoli]

This missing release is the reason our deploys had to build bcrypt during installation, which in turn failed because of the downtime in nodejs.org (installation requires downloading some headers).

[recrsn]

@brocoli The download of headers is a one time affair.

[strugee]

I have a user who reported this error on a regular Debian system; also on Node 6. Older bcrypt installs have worked for him in the past. Pretty sure he has make and g++ installed, but I'll double-check.

See pump-io/pump.io#1333 for logs.

[strugee]

I can confirm that this user has the entire build-essential package installed from Debian, including Make and g++.

[recrsn]

@strugee This is not an error with the library, but rather node-gyp See nodejs/node-gyp#454

gyp WARN EACCES user "root" does not have permission to access the dev dir "/root/.node-gyp/6.10.0"
gyp WARN EACCES attempting to reinstall using temporary dev dir "/usr/lib/node_modules/pump.io/node_modules/bcrypt/.node-gyp"

This happens if your script is executing at root. npm refuses to run as root and performs actions as the nobody user. As per @karimcitoh's report above:

export USER=root
export HOME=/tmp

npm install --unsafe-perm

[strugee]

Ah, gotcha. :/ that's unfortunate.

Thanks and sorry for the noise; this really seemed like a bcrypt issue since it used to work.

[defunctzombie]

Just a note for anyone that reads the above. While bcryptjs has the same API surface on the JS side; it does not actually implement background work in the same way as the c++ bindings. The c++ bindings use a background thread pool while bcryptjs will block your main thread pool. This may have implications on your services so make sure you understand what you are doing and how it will impact your services before blindly switching dependencies.

Is there a way to change the directory in which npm is trying to download from? This link https://github.com/kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js/releases/download/v2.0.1/bcrypt_lib-v2.0.1-node-v46-linux-x64-glibc.tar.gz works (it has v46 instead of v64...) where with the default link I get a 404 error.

[recrsn]

No that is working as intended. v64 is node 10, that only works when doing a source compile ATM. There were some problems building the binary on Travis after the upgrade. For now, install python2, g++, make and npm install bcrypt. See the installation instructions for a proper documentation.

I'm on arch linux, so I installed python2, g++, make and npm install bcrypt, but it still didn't work (still got the same 404 error, so I'm not sure how that fixes the problem...), so I downgraded node.js to its LTS version and now it's working.
thank you :)
