Node-GYP failed with exit code: 1

Question

I have to use node-usb in electron.atom to use that I am trying to install node-gyp and I am facing a Issue.

gyp ERR! stack Error: `gyp` failed with exit code: 1

I found few same tickets on stackoverflow I have tried them all. Still No success.

Has anyone found any solution for this problem.

Answer 1

I suggest that you narrow down the possible causes to the failure by following the steps in this Github Issue from node-gyp:

xcode-select --install # Install Command Line Tools if you haven't already.
sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools # Enable command line tools

Hope this helps.
