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

Answer 1

Pre-built binaries are usually available for bcrypt in a few hours after a new release of bcrypt or after a few days after a new NodeJS version is released.

However, remember that binaries are only provided as a convenience.

If you see an error such as:

`You need the following packages on CentOS / RHEL / Fedora

• gcc-c++ - In order to install a compiler chain to compile the node modules.
• make - To run the generated Makefile by node-gyp, which invokes compilers in order
• python - RHEL and CentOS come with the required version of python installed

Make sure all dependencies are installed with this command,

yum install -y gcc-c++ make

and then proceed with the bcrypt installation.
