Error installing lz4

[Allen-P12]

I have a react/node.js project I am working on that I want to use the @databricks/sql v1.8.1 module on my machine running windows 10. The lz4 module is a dependency, and I keep running into this error when trying to install either one. I have tried removing the node modules and package-lock, reinstalled node, ran the command in the command prompt and powershell as an admin with no luck.

Any advice?

node version: v20.10.0
npm: v10.2.0

Error when I run "npm install lz4":

PS C:\Users\github> npm install lz4

Hi @Allen-P12! Looks that node-gyp failed to download Nodejs header files (the URL you can see in logs you shared) - it tries to use a non-existing certificate or something like this. I think it's not related to node-lz4 but rather to your development environment. Please check if you can download those headers from your browser, then try to access that URL using the Nodejs installed on your machine

Hi @kravets-levko, thank you for the help! It ended up being that .tar.gz files were defaulted to opening using the raspberry pi imager on my machine. Changing the default program to the 7 zip file manager for that file type, deleting the node modules, and re-doing the npm install resolved the issue and lz4 installed correctly.
