Hello i get same error i tried this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37335259/trying-to-rollback-firebase-version-to-2-x but instead of version 2 i installed 3.9.1 and then updated to latest 3.9.2
maybe if you after "sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}"
try install 3.9.2 it would probably work

Is there a solution to this issue? I am facing the same issue right now. Above answer did not work for me.

I exactly have the same problem, i updated node and npm but it didn't solve the problem.

[vishalbiswas]

Install nodejs-current. Then try installing it again.

[GUILLALAB]

My current node version is v8.2.1.
I tried to install nodes-current, but it say Not Found:
sudo npm install nodejs-current
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found: nodejs-current@latest

[vishalbiswas]

@GUILLALAB I meant pkg install nodejs-current

[GUILLALAB]

@vishalbiswas unfortunately i don't have pkg command as i'am on a mac.
I know Mac is hybrid BSD but i don't have pkg install.

[vishalbiswas]

@GUILLALAB pkg is a wrapper for apt in termux.

@vishalbiswas I finally solved my problem:
I added node to my $PATH, and i also created a symlink on /node, because the script wanted that then env node on /.

I have the same problem. The issue seems to be the grpc node package that doesn't build. Node-pre-gyp is used to download a prebuilt version of this, which it can't find. (gyp seems to think that the platform is android and the libc type is "unknown" which is why it can't find a binary for it.) So it falls back to building grpc directly.

This fails because "clang-5.0: error: unknown argument: '-zdefs'" So it's something wrong I think with node-gyp not setting the build settings correctly or identifying the platform correctly.

Any help by someone who knows node well would be very appreciated!

[wschenk]

here's a work around: https://medium.com/@wschenk/getting-firebase-and-grpc-working-under-termux-115c25317ce3

Please downgrade your npm version to 6, then deploy it works.. As firebase is well designed for 6 and getting better for 8.. @wschenk @fornwall @godza-kauyani

[Adarshreddyash]

Use npm install -g npm@6 to downgrade

[xeffyr]

Can be installed with latest nodejs-lts package:

~ $ npm install -g firebase-tools
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/firebase -> /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/node_modules/firebase-tools/lib/bin/firebase.js
