I get an error while installing firebase tool and I can't figure out the problem.

Hi!

I updated node to 8.2.1 and I'm using npm 5.3.0 but I still have similar problem. I'm trying to run the same command sudo npm install -g firebase-tools and getting same errors like

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(undefined): https://node-iltorb.s3.amazonaws.com/iltorb/v1.3.4/node-v57-linux-x64.tar.gz

Similar issues have been posted in other places too, but none of the tricks seem to work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45595684/unable-to-install-firebase-tools-using-npm

Same issue:

Node: 8.4.0

Hey @RichieRock @Austin-Stephens Are you two sure that the install actually failed? When you run "firebase --version" does anything show up?

@laurenzlong Yes, prior to running sudo npm i -g firebase-tools all was well. I did not update anything except this package. I also am able to install other global npm packages without issue. Now it fails:

command not found: firebase

@laurenzlong Yes same here, the install has failed.

> firebase --version
firebase: command not found

Npm version 5 introduced npx command. I cannot even run firebase with this command even though it shows that it installed it:

> npx firebase --version
npx: installed 22 in 4.027s
command not found: firebase

This isn't really a solution, but running sudo npm i -g firebase-tools with the --unsafe-perm flag does allow it to install.

Same issue here (node 8.6.0).

sudo npm i -g firebase-tools --unsafe-perm does work though

I have npm version 6.4.1 and node version 10.14.1 and I still see this issue

Refusing to delete /usr/local/bin/firebase: ../lib/node_modules/firebase-tools/bin/firebase symlink target is not controlled by npm /usr/local/bin

@bhandaribhumin this seems to be an NPM issue in installing the module. I'd try running npm cache clean and/or npm uninstall -g firebase-tools then try installing again.

This error seemed to go away for me (on macbookpro) after upgrade to latest node and npm.

-> npm cache clean
-> npm uninstall -g firebase-tools
then -> npm install -g firebase-tools
even -> sudo npm i -g firebase-tools --unsafe-perm

I still get

solved my issue by upgrading node v8.0.0 to v8.1.1

--> npm clean --force
--> nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=node (this updates to node v11.10.0 (npm v6.7.0))
-->npm uninstall -g firebase-tools
-->npm install -g firebase-tools

This worked for me!

I couldn't get firebase tools to install with --force or --unsafe-perm.

So I went into /usr/local/bin and the firebase folder was named firebase instead of the intended firebase. Notice how there was a space at the end of the folder name.

Anyways, I removed it manually with rm -r firebase , and then sudo npm install -g firebase-tools worked.

@geiz same thing happened to me and after investigating this was the fix. For anyone that has this issue and is running recent versions of node / version of firebase tools I would check out the above answer by geiz.

In my case I was trying to npm update but kept running into this issue, space at the end of folder name was causing it to not find the folder.

I SOLVED this problem by on linux : "curl -sL https://firebase.tools | bash"
