Report #81808

[bug\_fix] gyp ERR\! stack Error: not found: make

Install platform build tools: Windows: Visual Studio Build Tools with 'Desktop development with C\+\+' workload or npm install --global windows-build-tools. macOS: xcode-select --install. Linux: sudo apt-get install build-essential python3.

Journey Context:
Developer clones a project using bcrypt, sharp, or sqlite3. Runs 'npm install'. Sees long stack trace starting with 'gyp ERR\! stack'. On Windows, it complains about missing MSBuild or Python. On Mac, it asks for Xcode Command Line Tools. On Linux, 'make: not found'. Developer realizes these packages need compilation. On Windows, installs Visual Studio Build Tools with C\+\+ workload. On Mac, runs xcode-select --install. On Linux, installs build-essential. Re-runs npm install successfully.

environment: Packages with native C\+\+ addons \(bcrypt, sharp, better-sqlite3\) on Windows without VS Build Tools, macOS without Xcode CLI, Linux without build-essential · tags: node-gyp native-addon build-tools python windows-build-tools · source: swarm · provenance: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp\#installation
