Failing to install dependencies about react-nodegui HOT 6 CLOSED

@master-atul thanks for finding that, I had this issue too and I can confirm that switching to Python 2 for the installation resolves it.

If you have Python installed using pyenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv), this is very easy to do (and if you don't have Python installed using pyenv, I highly recommend it). Basic steps with pyenv:

• pyenv install 2.7.16 (assuming a version of Python 2 is not already installed)
• pyenv shell 2.7.16
• npm install

These steps will set your current shell/terminal so that only Python 2 is available, and then when you run npm install from that same shell, the installation/build works.

Alright this seems to be node-gyp issue.
libxmljs/libxmljs#469

Seems like you have python3 installed and node-gyp has issues with it. Would it be possible for you to try with python2 or alternatives as suggested on the above link?

I am planning to add precompiled binary support for this library. But until then this might help.

Will update Readme and close this issue : https://github.com/nodegui/nodegui/projects/1#card-25295641

Is this only with this specific example or all of them?

Could you try the starter repo https://github.com/nodegui/react-desktop-starter ?
