Install some packages that need to be compiled: no python installed, build failed, etc.
Installing PythonMake sure Python is installed on your system. you can see the Python version by running python --version in a terminal.
If you don't have Python installed, go to the Python website and download and install the appropriate version.
Installing the build tool
On Windows, you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ build tool. You can download and install it from the Visual Studio download page.
On macOS, you need to install the Xcode command line tool. This can be done by running xcode-select --install in Terminal.
On Linux, you need to install the build-essential package. For example, on Ubuntu, run sudo apt-get install build-essential.
Setting npm environment variables
In some cases, npm may not be able to find Python and the build tools correctly. You can try setting the following environment variables.
Windows: set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
macOS/Linux: export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
Reinstall with npm install --force
If the above steps do not solve the problem, you can try to force a reinstallation of the package using npm install --force. This may resolve some of the dependencies.
Use yarn instead of npm
Sometimes, switching to the yarn package manager may solve compilation problems. yarn sometimes handles dependencies better.
Check the documentation of the package
Some specific packages may have other special installation requirements. Please check the package documentation to see if there are any additional steps necessary.
