This error is shown always
gyp: Call to 'node -e "require('nan')"' returned exit status -6 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp

What node version are you running @avirup?

From the readme:

Node.js ^8.0.0 (we recommend installing it via nvm)

Hmmmm. And which platform?

That’s odd you’re seeing that. This is with the latest published version of safe_app_nodejs now?

The error is indeed about incompatibility, most likely in the node-ffi package, but that’s been updated to avoid this in the latest versions…

Let me know your full platform / versions and I’ll see if i can replicate this.

Infact, if you have a link to the project that I can try building that may also be useful, as it could be some other package conflicting for eg.

Yes, I’ve been trying to solve this issue, so far the workaround is to remove the node_modules folder and do npm i again, that solves it for me @avirup

This is why we are trying to upgrade electron to v5, seeing if we can use napi libs, and if possible also move to nodejs 12, but still in progress.
