First, I tried installing bcrypt with npm.

Error :

/
> bcrypt@0.8.5 install /home/saaggy18/node-projects/10-projects/node_modules/bcrypt
> node-gyp rebuild

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/node-gyp-bin/node-gyp: 3: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/node-gyp-bin/node-gyp: node: Permission denied

Then I found this question

On the 3rd step that is, node-gyp configure

It's hitting an error :

My OS : Elementary Os Freya, which is basically Ubuntu and I have python installed.

  • Try `npm install` in `/home/saaggy18/node.bcrypt.js` - I suspect it will install the dependencies needed to build and run it. – Kenney Nov 29 '15 at 21:13
  • Ya. I did it before. But why is it so frustrating in installing bcrypt unlike others? – marukobotto Nov 29 '15 at 21:16
  • Because it's written in C and must be compiled for your platform.. Oh, one more thing; there's a permission denied error for /usr/local/lib, which usually requires root privileges... – Kenney Nov 29 '15 at 21:20

    Did you try `sudo npm install bcrypt` ? I often get errors when I don't install with `sudo`. – John Pink Nov 29 '15 at 21:21
  • Ya I definitely tried that. I use sudo – marukobotto Nov 29 '15 at 21:25
  • In your first attempt, it said there is a `/home/saaggy18/node-projects/10-projects/npm-debug.log` file. Could you re-run your initial attempt, but this time with sudo, and see if such a log file is produced again? – Kenney Nov 29 '15 at 21:29
  • @Kenney Yes, like you said, I re-ran it with sudo. It produced the npm-debug.log file once again. – marukobotto Nov 29 '15 at 21:33
  • Anything interesting in it? – Kenney Nov 29 '15 at 21:37
  • [github](https://github.com/nickB18/user-login-system) Check the log file – marukobotto Nov 29 '15 at 21:45
  • There's a parse error on your `package.json`; remove the last `,` in the file, that should get you at least one step further. – Kenney Nov 30 '15 at 09:42

try to install the build-essential with the command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

and try again. I hope that will help you

I'd recommend installing node using nvm to save yourself a lot of headache such as this one.
