Bcrypt warnings in console - following instructions crashes app

Hey guys :slight_smile:

Note: you are using a pure-JavaScript implementation of bcrypt.
While this implementation will work correctly, it is known to be
approximately three times slower than the native implementation.
In order to use the native implementation instead, run

   meteor npm install --save bcrypt

in the root directory of your application.

Is the nag screen that was annoying me so much that I followed the instructions, which resulted in :

Any ideas how to fix this?

If it helps I also saw this after running the install command, looks like it tried to build the binaries itself :

> bcrypt@3.0.0 install /Users/spice/Desktop/m-tests/appv3/node_modules/bcrypt
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

Maybe there was an issue with the install?

try deleting node_modules and running meteor npm install again

If that doesn’t work, it could be an issue with bcrypt@3.0.0, try:
meteor npm install bcrypt@2
