any idea why is it like that. it shows same kind of error in installing any of the other packages.

I can do it with a workaround like "git clone git://github.com/developmentseed/node-sqlite3.git" but was wondering why npm gives error while installing any of these packages.

Answer 1

This can be fixed by forcing SQLite3 to compile. npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source

Make sure you have these following dependencies installed

1. python-software-properties
2. python
3. g++
4. make
5. build-essential

or run sudo npm install -g node-gyp

You will find more informations there (SQlite3 section): http://support.ghost.org/troubleshooting/

Answer 2

节点版本可能是问题，因此对于节点 10.x 及更高版本，只需安装 sqlite3@4.1.1，如指定版本

Answer 3

Try updating npm. I just tested it with the latest version, and it worked.

Alternatively, try one of these packages:

https://github.com/grumdrig/node-sqlite
https://github.com/orlandov/node-sqlite

Answer 4

我也遇到了这个问题，然后我删除了我从 ubuntu repos 下载并安装的node js并从官方 node js 站点下载了源代码并在它再次编译后尝试安装 sqlite 没有问题它工作我建议你更新你的节点和 npm版本也是

Answer 5

It was a permissions problem for me. I was seeing this line before the errors:

gyp WARN EACCES current user ("ubuntu") does not have permission to access the dev dir "/root/.cache/node-gyp/14.15.4"

So I did chmod -R 777 /root then npm i sqlite3 .
