Unable to install Brain.js on PopOS #904

kul-sudo · 2023-07-23T13:28:42Z

What is wrong?

When I run npm i brain.js in the folder of my project, I get the following error:

Whenever I try to sort of omit this error and do yarn add brain.js, I run the app and get the message Error: Cannot find module 'gpu.js'.

I use Brain.js in Next.js.

Version information

Nodejs:

v20.5.0

Browser:

Google Chrome

Brain.js:

Unable to install, but mean to install the latest version possible.

How important is this (1-5)?

It, I think, is 5, because I cannot install the library from the very get-go.

I never have this error on Windows.

I also have noticed that many people have created similar issues, but none of them has got a clear solution that works.

seunafara · 2023-07-24T07:13:32Z

Your error message - Error: Cannot find module 'gpu.js' - means you have to also do npm install gpu.js

kul-sudo · 2023-07-24T09:36:04Z

Your error message - Error: Cannot find module 'gpu.js' - means you have to also do npm install gpu.js

I wish it was as simple as that.

It shows the following error when I do yarn add gpu.js:

Looks like gyp finds python (as python3) but your shell doesn't.

For kicks, can you share the output of running simply python --version and python3 --version in bash respectively?

I think a simple solution, if only the latter works, would be to alias python3 to python by adding this line to your .bashrc profile:

alias python=python3

You can simply run the above in your shell and try installing again, but the change will be for the duration of that session. If you want to persist it by adding it to your bash profile, you'll also need to run source ~/.bashrc after the addition, or just create a new session.

Let us know how it goes!

cclauss · 2023-07-24T11:32:19Z

You might need python-is-python3:

Or better yet create a venv with python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

skulldoggery · 2023-07-24T11:33:34Z

@cclauss 's recommendation is also a good one and essentially does the same thing I described, as a system-wide package

sudo apt-get install python-is-python3

Some light reading on what this package does and possible drawbacks/considerations.

I used Homebrew to install Python and have already set the alias like that, but still get the error when trying to install GPU.js that it wants me to install.

I remember I have already tried this package, but still got the error.
Also, the alias command is the same as installing this package, isn't it?

kul-sudo · 2023-07-24T14:18:46Z

You might need python-is-python3:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lunar/+package/python-is-python3

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python-is-python3

Or better yet create a venv with python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

https://snarky.ca/how-virtual-environments-work

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python3-venv

Will it work when I deploy my Next.js project with Brain.js to Vercel?

cclauss · 2023-07-24T15:25:00Z

Yes.

EDIT: Yes, for Python venv.

Both python3 --version and python --version log the same version, but I still have the error. I actually at the moment am a bit confused.

Keep in mind, it is all Next.js.

cclauss · 2023-07-24T16:40:19Z

What are the results of python3 --version ?
What are the contents of binding.gyp?

Oh... stackgl/headless-gl#221

The "Oh..." has made me oddly satisfied. So I need to install Python 2, don't I? This is what is apparently said in the thread.

kul-sudo · 2023-07-24T18:08:07Z

python3 --version: Python 3.11.4
Where can I find binding.gyp?

kul-sudo · 2023-07-24T18:15:24Z

Sorry for sending several messages instead of sending one with everything, but I think I have found a temporary solution which is to install an older version of gpu.js, to wit, 1.10.4, but it must not be the final solution.

Had the same as initial post's stack-trace during install on Mac OS Ventura using python from brew, fixed with:

cd /opt/homebrew/bin
sudo ln -sf python3 python

@romaleev bad idea but hey, it is your machine.

I had the same problem on Manjaro linux, somehow changing the node version from 20 to 16 fixed the problem. I tested it with multiple versions of node on both my ubuntu VM and my Manjaro machine and found out that brain.js couldnt install on anything newer than node 16.
