[SOLVED] Error while installing ssh2-sftp-client in Next.js

Issue

I want to store uploaded files in my domains storage through SFTP. So I found multer-sftp package but when I tried to run the command yarn add multer-sftp ssh2-sftp-client the second package gives a weired error. I tried removing and reinstalling node_modules, installing cmake in wsl then reinstall packages as in How do I resolve "Cannot find module" error using Node.js?, but neither of them worked for me. I'am working on WSL environment, and using nvm with node version 16.14.0. Please is there a solution or another package to solve my issues. The error I got :

warning Error running install script for optional dependency: ".../node_modules/cpu-features: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node buildcheck.js > buildcheck.gypi && node-gyp rebuild

Solution

Looks like you need to install g++ on your machine (and maybe other dependencies in the further process), as the error message states:

make: g++: Command not found
