[mrkking]

tried it on 4 different computers and got the same error:
Error: [email protected] install: node-gyp rebuild,
error Failed at the [email protected] install script.

1. Install Python 2.7 (Not python 3).
2. Install OpenSSL.
3. Try to upgrade your node.js and npm to newest version. For me v10.15.2 and 6.8.0. There are some issues of older version(Major version >10).
4. If still not working. Use the command: "npm install x509 --force", And in the folder node_modules/x509/build has the source code. Try to build it and fix the errors.
5. Still can't install x509, try:"npm install x509 --verbose". Find the error lines, and ask for help with those errors.

tried it on 4 different computers and got the same error:
Error: [email protected] install: node-gyp rebuild,
error Failed at the [email protected] install script.

Having the same problem here
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! [email protected] install: node-gyp rebuild npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] install script.

Also k2ksk2k solution is not working: npm install x509 installs fine without problems. But same error node-gyp rebuild occurs when I try npm install passport-wsfed-saml2

Solution: Install older release. npm install [email protected] or npm install [email protected] is working fine for me.

[mrkking]

for newer release, I had to clone the 'passport-wsfed-saml2' package and change the x509 dependency to latest - worked!

This was still an issue for me at v3.0.17. Using node v10.16.0, npm v6.9.0. @nielshendrickx's solution worked, but I'm sure @mrkking's would also be good.

3.0.12

Using this version worked for me.
