I tried running npm audit fix, but nothing useful turned up so far.

I tried looking for solutions on the web, but so far nothing has helped me thus far.

EDIT: I would like to know how come anaconda3 python installation is being pulled into this compilation error as well.


Solution

  • Do you still get this errors ?

    This errors occurred since fsevents package depending on the old version of nodejs. Downgrade your nodejs version into 10.15.1 (lts/dubnium) , then you can get rid this error.

    additional: you can install and switch between various nodejs version using nvm
