Hey there I was trying to build the environment for Joplin
But I ran into the following error
I am using

  • macOS Big Sur 11.2.3
  • node v15.2.0
  • npm v7.0.8
    Is there any comment on this issue?
    Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Could you try with Node 12?

This might also be useful

Hey Thanks a lot. I end up with using

npm 6.14.1
node v14.16.0
node-gyp v7.1.2(latest)
python 3.7.8(for node-gyp)

Not sure which change of settings contributes to the successful compile :joy: but it worked in the end

I have a question about the idea Paste Special
Is this plugin for all Joplin applications or a specific one?

@StinkyBenji Right now plugins are only supported in Desktop and CLI applications.
