Seems like a permission issue, looking at the error log

Seems like a permission issue, looking at the error log

npm install -g parcel-bundler

I am running this as "root"
Why does
npm install -g [email protected]
work ?

mkdir '/root/.nvm/versions/node/v9.10.1/lib/node_modules/parcel-bundler/node_modules/deasync/build'
can not work because parent directories do not exist
but
mkdir -p '/root/.nvm/versions/node/v9.10.1/lib/node_modules/parcel-bundler/node_modules/deasync/build'
would work

[DeMoorJasper]

The deasync dependency got added in v1.7, might be a bug in their install script?

I'm having a similar issue on Ubuntu 16.04. I'm going to try to install 1.6.2 and see if that will work. Fwiw, I've tried as root too and still nothing.

[Ayllium-Rin]

Ok, I figured out my issue. The "most recent" version of node.js on my computer was 4.2..... I needed to install nvm to upgrade to the real most recent version. After that, npm install -g parcel-bundler worked fine...

[hondagx35]

Why is it closed?
My issue is not solved!

[DeMoorJasper]

Closed it by mistake although it's probably not parcel related

[ACXgit]

Same issue here with Node.js v.10.0.0 via nvm on a Rpi2. Instead, Parcel v1.6.2 installs just fine.

[DeMoorJasper]

@ACXgit deasync has no prebuild binaries for node 10 or arch linux. Perhaps open an issue there

I have a similar problem with Alpine Linux 😢
This might be due to the node-alpine docker image missing build tools to actually build with node-gyp.

[fathyb]

@styfle can you install the alpine-sdk and python-dev packages in your container? It should be enough to build most Node.js native modules :

apk add --update alpine-sdk python-dev

[styfle]

@fathyb Thanks! 🎉

I found another issue that is very similar to what you suggested: https://github.com/mhart/alpine-node/issues/27

[gearhead]

why is this closed? it still does not work on RPi2.

[robo-corg]

Also having a similar problem.

yarn global add parcel-bundler

Fails on my raspberrypi.

[davibe]

same on raspberry.
this should not be closed.

I'm using WSL/ubuntu with root user and solved that error with:

npm install -g parcel-bundler --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
