Cannot install bcrypt node.js module on Centos Server

Question

I\'m trying to install bcrypt on CentOS server but I got the following error:

info postuninstall bcrypt@0.5.0
ERR! bcrypt@0.5.0 install: `make build`

Answer 1

I got the same issue doing npm install bcrypt. The other option is to install it from source.

git clone git://github.com/ncb000gt/node.bcrypt.js.git
cd node.bcrypt.js
node-gyp configure
node-gyp build

Rename the node.bcrypt.js folder to bcrypt, and move it into your node_modules of your project.

You can install node-gyp by doing npm install -g node-gyp (-g installs it globally).
