I was trying to install angularfire2 and firebase with npm like this 

$ npm install angularfire2 firebase --save

The problem I am getting is

I have looked at the documentation and there was a post that mentioned something about the version of [email protected] not being good . I don't know if it was related to my specific problem I am using angular 5 and node 8.10 my version of npm is 5.6.0 any knowledge on problems here would be greatly appreciated. For people having a similar problem I am also looking into using a cdn for firebase (haven't fully done my research on it so don't take my word for it).

  • Can you look at the npm log file mentioned in that error and show is the first block of lines that start with "node-pre-gyp" and mention "grpc"? I think there may be relevant information there. Commented Apr 4, 2018 at 15:57
  • for some odd reason it started working I have no Idea why Commented Apr 5, 2018 at 0:32

If you look closely you will see this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./gyp-mac-tool", line 611, in sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:])) File "./gyp-mac-tool", line 28, in main exit_code = executor.Dispatch(args) File "./gyp-mac-tool", line 43, in Dispatch return getattr(self, method)(*args[1:]) File "./gyp-mac-tool", line 246, in ExecFilterLibtool if not libtool_re.match(line) and not libtool_re5.match(line): TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

That is a python error. Make sure you have python 2.7 on your path and not 3.x as this tool doesn't support 3.x.

This might be the reason it started to work suddenly thanks I looked further into gyp you are actually supposed to run a command before to load the dependencies for gyp in an admin role. I did this and this could be the reason why it suddenly started to work.
