Yarn install error

[jasonseminara]

Recently started receiving errors from yarn while installing. It seems to come from ssh2 -> cpu-features. The error seems to be triggered by node-gyp.

The only way it seems to get around it is to yarn install --ignore-optional, which isn't ideal.

Same thing!

Try installing cmake. I installed it from Ubuntu software (18.04) and it worked for me

Same, Using M1 Mac and installing cmake doesn't help me. New error appears:

[Apollon77]

cmake is a very unusual need for a nodejs module :-( it is not included in the usual build tools that are installed on user systems

[mscdex]

As mentioned in the readme for this project, cmake is required to properly build the addon. The reason cmake is required is that is the build system supported by cpu_features (the dependency) and converting the CMakeLists to gyp is not easy.

However if someone wants to give converting the CMakeLists to a gyp file, feel free to send a PR!

Regarding Apple M1, that is a different issue and is being resolved upstream here.

I have to bump this issue because this error also pops up when cpu-features is an optional transient dependency (for example through ssh2).

I would rather expect this situation to be logged as a warning, because seeing "harmless" errors in your logs is confusing. I don't know enough about the build environment, but would it be possible for example to check whether CMake is installed and if not, just stop there and log the situation as a warning?
