I am following the instructions to install meteor on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B but when I try to run the todos example, I get this error log:

Can anybody recommend a solution/workaround?

Thank you for reading.

Have the same problem here cannot deploy to live because of this… very disappointing using meteor got to say I’ve spent 2 days trying docker, mup and now just the meteor build manually and it all failed.

Really no idea what to do, have installed bcrypt manually still same error on debian. Need this fixed asap

I fixed it!

  1. Delete the package from the node_modules directory
  2. Download with npm install bcrypt
  3. cp -r the files from the previous step over the bundled bcrypt.
  4. Restart app it should be working now.
