Cannot Install Npm Package (fsevents) On Mac Os Catalina

When I run npm install express --save this command, I'm getting an error. Can anyone please help me with this issue? Error: > fsevents@1.2.11 install /Users/delowar/Desktop/ytd

Solution 1:

Problem solved by reinstalling xcode command line tools.

Open Terminal & paste these code:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

then

xcode-select--install

Note: - Be Careful using rm command

Solution 2:

I don't like to use the rm -rf command so an alternative option when you have brew installed with the "trash" formulae you can do on your terminal is :

trash Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

And then

xcode-select--install

If you don't have trash installed then you can do it on your terminal : https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/trash

brew install trash

Solution 3:

For me the instructions above didn't work. So, I came across a different solution:

> xcode-select -print-path
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

> sudo xcode-select --reset

> xcode-select -print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
