1209 error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above. 1210 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

package.json:

"dependencies": { "bcryptjs": "^2.4.3", "body-parser": "^1.18.3", "express": "^4.16.4", "mongoose": "^5.4.0", "morgan": "^1.9.1", "multer": "^1.4.1", "request": "^2.88.0" },

VERSIONS:

npm: 6.4.1

node: v10.14.2

I also faced the same issue today whilst trying to install bcrypt on Windows 10 desktop. Turns out that bcrypt support stable versions of node better check out the docs

The solution for me was:

1. Upgrade node to a stable version: I manually downloaded and installed Windows installer from Node website.


2. Install the Windows build tools globally: npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
   


3. Finally npm install bcrypt --save
   

After this everything worked ok.
