I keep getting errors when trying to install bcrypt..
I tried npm install bcrypt And npm install bcrypt --python=python2 but nothing seems to work..
Please answer this question since I've seen multiple people having trouble with this.

30,220 PointsIt helps to include the command you are running and the error that comes up in the terminal when asking questions like this.
Is this for a specific project? Did you set up your node_modules folder with "npm init" first? If it's for a specific project that requires bcrypt, I would do the following:
- npm init
- npm install --save bcrypt
If you want to install bcrypt globally, run npm install -g bcrypt

30,220 PointsSerge Zant, are you using workspaces or your terminal?
Following along with the video, are you typing in "npm install bcrypt"? What error are you getting?
Serge Zant
10,420 PointsYes i followed along with the video. Actually i get a full list of errors.. In the video the teacher gets a list of errors. I get the same errors.
When the teacher types npm install bcrypt --python=python2, it actually fixes the problem. When I type the exact same line, I still get those errors.

30,220 PointsSerge Zant , not sure how I can help if you don't tell me what the errors are...
Sounds like maybe you don't have python installed on your machine correctly, but that's a shot in the dark without me fully knowing what errors you have.
Serge Zant
10,420 PointsThank you for your help Zack. I'll just continue the course for now and do the first steps again. I'll check if I still get the errors in a few days. Thanks for helping me so far.

2,632 PointsI'm having the same issue. It seems like a package or dependency was updated and the video for the course hasn't been updated to account for it.
Running the command npm install bcrypt --python=python2 in the workspace for the course as shown in the video I get these errors:

I think that's the full output, selecting and copying from the workspace doesn't seem to be working very smoothly for me.

10,420 PointsThank you for you answer Zack. It's not really for a specific project.
I just wanted to follow along with this tutorial: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/installing-local-packages
