• Node: v10.6.0 installed via brew
• OS: Mac mini running 10.13.5

You need to install XCode and then the Commandlinetools for XCode ... these are needed buildtools for many node modules not only homebridge dependecies.

[coneybeare]

Xcode already installed: Version 9.4.1 (9F2000)
Commandline tools installed: Command Line Tools (macOS 10.13) for Xcode 10 Beta 2

[coneybeare]

Ah, just typing out the last comment made me realize my Command Line Tools were mismatched with my Xcode. Downloaded CLT for Xcode 9 and all set.

This works for me

npm install -g n
n 8.8.1

sudo npm explore npm -g -- npm install node-gyp@latest
