[[[ INSTALL ISSUES ]]] 404 node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for v8-debug stack Error: Failed to execute

Potential duplicate of #868

node --version
v7.2.1

npm --version
3.10.9

New MacBook delivered yesterday.

First error I’m getting:

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

So I tried following the instructions here: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/569#issuecomment-255589932

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Output from the console:

npm install -g node-inspector

Seeing the same thing, and just as a warning,

Never do what @bbbenji suggests. Never modify the permissions of root folders. Never sudo install with package managers (npm or otherwise). And never install -g for project-specific dependencies.

This is what “fixed” it for me, but I don’t know how much of it was required

Remove the existing node-gyp folder from this comment

rm -r ~/.node-gyp

Update npm (why not?)

npm install npm@latest -g

Remove existing node_modules/

rm -r node_modules

Remove the existing package-json.lock (or yarn.lock if using yarn) from this comment. An older version of fsevent in the lockfile could be causing this error

rm package-json.lock

And then reinstalling

npm install

I solved this by

cd [projectPath]/node_modules/node-gyp
yarn
cd [projectPath]
yarn

just install it manually!
