Research direction

Start with the reported npm install failure and the inotify@1.4.6 node-gyp rebuild step. Check the native build output above the excerpt to identify the cause, then verify the installation succeeds with Node 10.16.3; the issue does not mention a source file or test.

Description

Hi everybody !

I am trying to install my app with the command sudo npm install, but I have this issue :

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! inotify@1.4.6 install: `node-gyp rebuild`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the inotify@1.4.6 install script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/lfg-dev/.npm/_logs/2019-10-16T12_01_23_133Z-debug.log

I am using nvm 0.34.0 with node 10.16.3 which has the the npm version number 6.9.0.

Does anyone have an idea about this issue please ? 😃
