@prasanthmaran1 this library contains a native addon for extra performance in node environments, what this means is that you should have a c compiler installed on your system. This is fairly common in the node ecosystem.

See instructions here: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-macos

In most cases this is as easy as running xcode-select --install on your mac.

Let me know if that works.

[prasanthmaran1]

Thanks @schnerd package installed successfully...

[gilbertomangones]

perfect work for me. using xcode-select --install on mac. Thank you.

I had to re-install the xcode tools for some weird reason...

sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select -print-path)
xcode-select --install

That is listed in the bottom of the guide (https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/macOS_Catalina.md). So thank you!

I do as this, too.

I wouldn't ever trust a sudo rm -rf $(smth) command. However, doing it it two steps solved the problem for me also:

> xcode-select -print-path
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
> sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

following step help me to resolve this issue on Mac Catalina OS

sudo rm -rf $(xcode-select -print-path)

xcode-select --install

/usr/sbin/pkgutil --packages | grep CL

sudo npm install -g node-gyp
