If you can’t get the npm package node-pre-gyp to install…

Solution

Head to the instructions on how to fix this:

nodejs/node-gyp/blob/master/macOS_Catalina.md#Solutions

# Installation notes for macOS Catalina (v10.15)

_This document specifically refers to upgrades from previous versions of macOS to Catalina (10.15). It should be removed from the source repository when Catalina ceases to be the latest macOS version or when future Catalina versions no longer raise these issues._

**Upgrading to macOS Catalina may cause normal `node-gyp` installations to fail.**

### Is my Mac running macOS Catalina?
Let's first make sure that your Mac is running Catalina:
```
% sw_vers
    ProductName:	Mac OS X
    ProductVersion:	10.15
    BuildVersion:	19A602
```
If `ProductVersion` is less then `10.15` then this document is not for you. Normal install docs for `node-gyp` on macOS can be found at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-macos


### The acid test
To see if `Xcode Command Line Tools` is installed in a way that will work with `node-gyp`, run:
1. `/usr/sbin/pkgutil --packages | grep CL`
