Error in install script while installing firebase-admin in Windows 10 about grpc-node

You're not actually downloading a useful file when you do that. You're just downloading the 403 error page. We don't publish FreeBSD binaries.

We do not have any plans to publish FreeBSD binaries. We do not officially support that platform.

One of the first lines of that log shows it failing to download a file. Can you check if you are able to access that URL with a browser?

I have a similar issue on FreeBSD.

> [email protected] install /vol0/nodejs/graphql/acc/node_modules/grpc
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build --library=static_library

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(403): https://storage.googleapis.com/grpc-precompiled-binaries/node/grpc/v1.7.1/node-v59-freebsd-x64.tar.gz 
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v59 ABI, unknown) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

But I can download the file without problem with simple curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/grpc-precompiled-binaries/node/grpc/v1.7.1/node-v59-freebsd-x64.tar.gz.

Yep, I've just wen to cat the file and realized that. :D

Any news about this?

@murgatroid99, sorry for not providing a more detailed info, but I have a similar issue for windows:

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(undefined): https://storage.googleapis.com/grpc-precompiled-binaries/node/grpc/v1.7.1/node-v57-win32-x64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v57 ABI, unknown) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

Ok, FWIW I was trying to npm install @angular/material2, and its building process depends on grpc. The problem was not the lack of the binaries (it would be good if the binaries exist on storage.googleapis though). The problem was that the build-from-source process also failed after that.

After struggling for a few days, I've found out that the building fail is due to a bug (specifc to windows) documented in https://www.npmjs.com/package/grpc and you can workaround it by deleting the folder C:\Users\<username>\.node-gyp\<node_version>\include\node\openssl (after the error occured for the first time, to asure this folder already exists) and retry npm install.

Closing this one.
