Can't install

[privacyfreak84]

When trying to install node-gyp, I get the following error:

Cannot`` load externalized builtin: "internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer:/usr/lib/node_modules/cjs-module-lexer/lexer.js".

Hey there, do you have node-gyp dependencies installed?

[privacyfreak84]

You mean Python, make and GCC? I have those.

Python version: 3.12.3

1. Do you install node-gyp directly or just install Lowfi? If the former, you don't need to install node-gyp separately; just install Lowfi, and it will also install and use node-gyp. The reason I've put node-gyp in the prerequisites is to let users know of the dependencies node-gyp needs. If you think that's confusing, let me know, and I'll modify the README.

2. Can you install other packages globally, or is it just node-gyp/Lowfi?

[privacyfreak84]

Well, when running npm install -g lowfi directly, i get the following:

Cannot load externalized builtin: "internal/deps/cjs-module-lexer/lexer:/usr/lib/node_modules/cjs-module-lexer/lexer.js".

Could you please confirm that this issue occurs only with Lowfi and not with any global package installation in general? Perhaps try running npm install -g fast-cli and let me know if it installs correctly.

[privacyfreak84]

npm install -g fast-cli

Returns the same error 😕

[remvze]

Please check nodejs/cjs-module-lexer#92. I'm going to close this issue as it's not specific to Lowfi, but please open a new issue if you need help with anything else.
