I'm trying to install redux using npm, but upon running the command npm install redux, I get the following error:
bash-3.2$ sudo npm install redux

The real output is actually ten times longer, but I think you get the picture. How to fix this? Node version: 12.10.0. Npm version: 6.11.3.

Answer 1

Try this it should work.
npm install fsevents#1.2.9
I have tried this and using this versions
node -v => v12.18.0 and npm -v => 6.14.9

Answer 2

I got same issue, and the fix is the right node version to use with.
First time I get gyp ERR! node -v v13.3.0, then fix with nvm install v8.9.4
So I suggest to use node under nvm and try older node version!
