I'm unable to install bcrypt using npm on my machine because I encounter the following errors. I have been troubleshooting the issue without much luck. Can you recommend any steps to diagnose or fix the problem so I can run npm install bcrypt successfully?

The easy solution is just switch from the "bcrypt" npm module to bycryptjs or bcrypt-nodejs. It's the exact same API, but pure JS so no native add-ons to deal with.
npm install --save bcryptjs && npm uninstall --save bcrypt
Then change your require calls to "bcryptjs", but all your code otherwise can be unchanged.
Long term, I suspect at the moment bcrypt may not be ready for node v0.12.0 yet, but if not it will eventually be updated and ready.
2.7x slower than python version
bcryptjs works for me. bcrypt-nodejs does NOT, though.
2019 - looks like bcrypt-nodejs is no longer supported
its a fix, not THE fix. if you cant switch to node version of bcrypt, go for installing node-gyp (try npm i bcrypt npde-gyp --force) then trying npm i . it should build correctly.
I installed bcrypt-nodejs though it's already deprecated, and then removed it and installed bcrypt again. Like this, I Installed bcrypt successfully and it worked fine.
