Hey @saif the error is related to the node-gyp build process, which requires certain prerequisites to be properly installed on your system. It looks like there might some installation issues with Python, Visual studio. I would recommend to go through following steps:

  • Install Python - from your logs I can see you have python installed. Make sure it is the correct version(node-gyp often works best with Python 2.7 or 3.x up to 3.9).

  • Install Visual Studio and the Desktop Development with C++ Workload -

    • Go to the Visual Studio downloads page to download Visual Studio Community Edition.
    • During installation, make sure to select the “Desktop development with C++” workload. This includes all necessary compilers and libraries needed by node-gyp.

  • Configure npm to Use the Correct Version of Visual Studio-
    Once Visual Studio is installed, you may need to configure npm to use the Visual Studio build tools. You can do this via the command line:

    npm config set msvs_version 2022 --global

    Replace 2022 with your installed Visual Studio version, such as 2017 or 2022.

  • Address the SSL/TLS Certificate Issue - set an npm configuration or by installing the correct certificates:

  • Clean npm Cache and Rebuild

    npm cache clean --force

    Then, try installing the package again:

    npm install

  • Retry Installation

    npm init builder.io@latest

Hello there!

Here’s a step-by-step guide that could resolve the node-gyp error when installing the Builder SDK. Follow these instructions carefully:

How to Resolve node-gyp Error When Installing Builder SDK

Step 1: Repair Command Line Tools (if needed)

Sometimes, issues with command line tools can cause node-gyp errors. To repair them, execute the following commands:

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
xcode-select --install

Step 2: Verify Installation of Command Line Tools

To ensure that the command line tools are correctly installed, run:

xcode-select -p

This command should return the path to the command line tools. If it doesn’t, revisit Step 1.

Step 3: Ensure gcc is Installed

You need gcc for building native modules. Install it using Homebrew:

brew install gcc

Step 4: Ensure make is Installed

Similarly, ensure that make is installed, as it is essential for building modules:

brew install make

Step 5: Ensure Python Version is Available

Set the Python environment variable to ensure node-gyp uses the correct Python version. Use the following command:

export PYTHON=$(which python3)

Step 6: Clean Node Modules

Before reinstalling packages, clean up any existing node_modules and clear the npm cache:

rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean --force
npm install

Step 7: Rebuild isolated_vm

To ensure all native modules are built correctly, run:

npm rebuild isolated_vm --verbose

Step 8: Install the Builder SDK

Finally, install the Builder SDK for React using npm:

npm install @builder.io/sdk-react

If you encounter any further issues, consider checking your Node.js version.

Thanks,

I also got this error when using Node 23:

$ node -v
v23.7.0

I was able to resolve it be downgrading to Node 22:

$ nvm install 22.13.1
$ nvm use 22.13.1

I was then able to successfully install the Builder SDK fro React:

$ npm install @builder.io/sdk-react

Hopefully this helps anyone else who is still running into the issue after following the steps above.
