Finally i found out the solution after long search on google, if anyone encounters this kind of issue in the future here are the commands to run: **sudo npm cache clean -f sudo npm install -g n sudo n 8.4.0** ---

there is another solution which worked for me , that is to delete the existing bcrypt module and installing new one thanks ---

Hi. Interesting. I actually fixed these errors another way. That said this n package is platform specific and is not a valid for Windows. ```auto PS D:\Users\User\Desktop\vidly-api-node-master> npm install -g n npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for n@7.3.0: wanted {"os":"!win32","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"x64"}) npm ERR! notsup Valid OS: !win32 npm ERR! notsup Valid Arch: any npm ERR! notsup Actual OS: win32 npm ERR! notsup Actual Arch: x64 npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2021-06-24T11_11_16_087Z-debug.log ``` As for why it happens, I have little to no clue. gyp is a compiler for native addons for Node.js. Seems bcrypt installation involves platform specific compilation. They probably have a common code base and did not compile platform specific packages. That just guessing. All I know from node and npm is their general purpose and a few commands I ever typed to test or start the servers I deal with and manage packages. Kind Regards.
