The command was:

npm i gpu.js --add

[pablocar80]

This was on Linux with WSL. I tried on the same repository on MacOS and I get a very similar message.

@pablocar80 I had the same issue using V18 of node worked as a tempoary solution

[w-oz]

Same issue

[razb-viola]

Same issue. Can't install this.

[jurian404]

Same issue on MacOS

[ilgianlu]

same problem here.
To work with python 3.12, should update gl lib to 8.1.6 (because of deps in node-gyp 9.4.1, should use ^10.2).
I'm on ubuntu 24.04

[Fi1osof]

My dirty workaround: add to package.json
"overrides": {
"gl": "^8.1.6"
}

Thanks weagle08 for pointing me in the right direction through #836 . I was able to update the dependencies as per weagle08's fork. The build works with Node v22.14.0. It does not work on 22 due to a bug in vinyl js which gulp depends on - gulpjs/vinyl-fs#350. Node 23 doesn't work due to stackgl/headless-gl#303. Also, the gulp build addon for streamx needed to be changed as per gulpjs/gulp#2802. The PR is #840. I am using gpu.js in browser and was able to verify that our use case seemed to work as expected with the built dist files. The tests passed fine but am not sure what other functionalities are affected by this update.

[razb-viola]

We need this functionality in every node version from so on.
