npm hummus library unix(RHEL) installation failing

Question

We are trying to install 'hummus' library in our server. OS: Unix - RHEL

running command:- npm i hummus

node-pre-gyp WARN Tried to download(404): https://hummus.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/hummus/v1.0.87/node-v64-linux-x64.tar.gz node-pre-gyp WARN Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v64 ABI, glibc) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp) make: Entering directory /usr/lib/node_modules/hummus/build' CXX(target) Release/obj.target/pdfwriter/src/deps/PDFWriter/AbstractContentContext.o cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=gnu++1y" make: *** [Release/obj.target/pdfwriter/src/deps/PDFWriter/AbstractContentContext.o] Error 1 make: Leaving directory/usr/lib/node_modules/hummus/build' gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: make failed with exit code: 2 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:262:23) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:182:13) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:237:12) gyp ERR!

The issue appears to be that the installation is looking to download a later version than exists on the download url.

The installation is trying to download : hummus/v1.0.87/node-v64-linux-x64.tar.gz

As v64 is not listed, we get the 404 error.

By going to this link:- https://hummus.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/

The latest version is “hummus/v1.0.87/node-v59-linux-x64.tar.gz”

There is no way to specify a specic build for installation to use.

Has anyone seen a simliar issue before and have a workaround?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

It gets installed hummus after following the instructions on how to make binary modules compile, follow the section relevant to your case: https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp

Answer 2

HummusJS project now is unmantained. But I need to get an existing app I had made working on an ARM environment. I found out that using the concrete version of node 12.14.1, the install and compilation process of HummusJS did work. I hope it helps for anyone with the same issue.

Answer 3

you need a compiler. there are simply no ready binaries for your env. consult https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp for compiler.
