I tried npm i -g windows-build-tools and npm install -g node-gyp as well
but I can't get problems in it..
Can anyone please help me out?
Node version- v14.16.0
Npm version- 7.6.0
expo version- 4.2.1

Answer 1

You first need to clear the npm cache by using this command
npm cache clean --force
if it doesn't work then manually delete the %appdata%\npm-cache folder.
then update your npm
npm install npm#latest -g
then you can try installing expo firebase by this
expo install firebase
Thanks :)

Answer 2

before installing node-gyp on windows
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
install node-gyp globally
npm install -g node-gyp

Answer 3

I uninstalled the node from the system and then downloaded and installed version 14.15.1 and this issue was resolved
