I’m fighting through this on Windows 7 now too. I’m upgrading from Meteor 1.3.5.1 to Meteor 1.4.

I tried to install MS Build Tools per migration guide:

https://guide.meteor.com/1.4-migration.html

and received the same error as the OP:

I also tried meteor npm rebuild but no luck, same error.

I’m now installing Visual Studio Community 2015 with the C++ Build Tools as @mysterymac has suggested, I’ll post my findings here.

[About one hour later]:

It worked for me :grinning: after installing Visual Studio Community 2015, I was able to build successfully. Now to see if the application works on Meteor 1.4! Cheers to all.

For me, the simplest way is to open a cmd window with administrator permission, and run npm install --global --production windows-build-tools, then, update normally.

you can refer to https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp

well I did that in linux, and still have the same error. For me it looks like that the package fourseven:scss that cannot be updated.

I’m fighting with this problem too since yesterday.
I’ve tried everything:

  • I’ve installed more than 20gb of Visual studio 2015 and 2013
  • I’ve reinstalled npm and node (even all the other packages i’ve on this pc, like python)
  • I used npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
  • i’ve manually installed the Microsoft Build Tools 2015 and 2013
  • I tried meteor npm rebuild

Now, after all these steps, if try to run the update i get:

=> Errors while initializing project:

After this i’ve created manually a binding.gyp file without success.

I really don’t know what to do, i hope someone can fix this problem.
I need to publish this project in September…probably i’m in the worst situation you can think of :slight_smile:

Thank you for the help!

Thank to @zhaoyao91, it worked for me on Windows 7 ! I will try tonight on Windows 10.

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

I tried to follow @brucejo tips,
firstly I update the package fourseven:scss first from 3.4.3 to 3.8.0_1,
secondly I update the meteor version. again the error npm-bcrypt show up.

Then I tried to remove package accounts-password because I think bcrypt means encryption or something that related with password encryption haha.
After that I tried to meteor update, and it worked, my application has a version 1.4.

Unfortunately, when I try to add again the accounts-password, again it show the error npm-bcrypt. I tried to change ownership of .meteor folder in my [Myapp]/local just like @isibz did, but it not worked.

What did I missing??

anyway I’m using ORACLE Linux 6

29

I use Ubuntu 14.04. Check this:

  1. basic compiler toolchain: Pyrthon 2.7, GNU Make , C compiler for example GCC
  2. Change ownership of the .meteor folder in the application
    3.Change ownership of the .meteor folder in the personal folder

It worked for me

For the ones with the error including:

gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, rmdir ‘build’

This seems to be permission related as mentioned already by Longmate.
I noticed it on a Linux system where Meteor was installed as root (sudoed).

However sudo meteor update does trigger the error still. I think the permission rights are not properly propagated by the command.

Only way I could fix it is by changing the owner of the .meteor install directory from root to another user.

sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.meteor

After this the update to 1.4 would work.

Thanks, it work for me … (Ubuntu)

32

Just installing node-gyp fixed the problem for my Windows 10 ios.

Execute
npm install -g node-gyp
on the command line.

33

I tried your method by changing the ownership but the same error show up again. I also change the permission into 777, but the error log still the same. Is it different between ubuntu and oracle linux environment??

34

RGGGGH! Same issue here after updating to 1.4! Tried everything suggested! It’s not an access issue for me.

35

FIXED! (for me at least):

Run ‘meteor add npm-bcrypt’

and hopefully you’re problems will be resolved.

Yes! I finally fixed the problem too!
If you have win10 try these steps (in order):

  1. (Re)install Visual studio 2015

  2. Execute: npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
    (as suggested by @leg3ndz)

  3. Then execute: npm install -g node-gyp
    (as suggested by @haverweb )

  4. Run the Meteor update

Hope this can help someone

37

This worked for me :slight_smile:

38

I think you are looking for the instructions here which has all these steps.

39

@brucejo just the part meteor npm install --global --production windows-build-tools is the only thing I had to do from those install instructions. Actually when I tried to run meteor npm install -g node-gyp I got errors.

Make note that I ran these commands from an admin shell in the app directory and used meteor at the start of the command.
