jhipster - gyp verb `which` failed Error: not found: python2
Just a note for anyone using React and facing the same error on Linux (Ubuntu):
Step 1: Install python 2.7
- something similar to this
sudo apt update sudo apt install python2-minimal
Step 2: Install make or just build-essential
- something like:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Then you can proceed with your previous activity...
I just ran into this as well.
I had to install Python 2.7 Here
I also needed to downgrade my node version to 6.16 [Link to how to install and uninstall] (https://blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-node-js-npm-windows)
Yes node-gyp requires Python 2.7, so you could try the answers to this question.
Alternatively, if you encounter this problem, it is probably due to node-sass and if you did not select Sass in JHipster options, you don't need it but still you get it because it's a transitive dependency from Angular, you can skip it by setting environment variables:
set SKIP_SASS_BINARY_DOWNLOAD_FOR_CI=true
set SKIP_NODE_SASS_TESTS=true
Another alternative is to use JHipster devbox.
There is another workaround to this error:
- Delete your
node_modules
folder. - Run
npm install --global windows-build-tools --save
in your command prompt. - Install node-sass using the command:
npm install [email protected] --save
(or the latest version)
This should solve the error and return you a gyp info ok
message!
If you encounter Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment
, resolve it by running:
npm rebuild node-sass
