/QUOTE npm ERR! Failed at the bcrypt@0.8.5 install script 'node-gyp rebuild'. npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed. npm ERR! If you do, this is most likely a problem with the bcrypt package, npm ERR! not with npm itself. npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system: npm ERR! node-gyp rebuild

22,560 PointsDo you have node.js installed? Npm (Node Package Manager) is used to download node packages such as bcrypt. You can download node from the node.js website.
