Tried to run this on Ubuntu 18.04 x64. It used to work properly a day ago but it stopped out of nowhere.

npm i simple-youtube-api

I used to be able to install them but not anyone, im getting this:

> bufferutil@4.0.1 install /root/NezukoBot/node_modules/bufferutil
> node-gyp-build

I have tried this but i still get the error:

npm config set user 0
npm config set unsafe-perm true
npm npm-install node.js

NPM is careful when installing packages as root.

Installing global packages as root or sudo can potentially damage your operating system, as it may accidentally replace files critical to the operating system itself.

However if you still want to proceed, you know what you are doing and you are e.g. using a virtual machine, you can do.

npm install --unsafe-perm -g simple-youtube-api

See unsafe-perm documentation.
