The 404 on the prebuilt binary is actually expected since I don't believe we ship Node-API version 8 binaries yet. This should not matter though, since the install should fall back to compiling from source, and it looks like that's where it failed.

This looks like it could be related to certificates, since it's complaining about a self-signed certificate in the chain (gyp ERR! stack Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain). Apparently, this can be caused by being behind a corporate firewall. Certificates are outside my area of expertise, but you might find an answer on this issue.

Hello, thanks for the link where I find a work around to install for the first time the tensorflow nodejs librariries.
Using set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 before launching the install. Didn't succeed with the solution of default certificates up to now.
Thank you
