Bcrypt Binding Error. Module did not self register?

Question

So I'm trying to run my MEAN stack app again and when I enter node server.js, I get error:

/Users/<myusername>/Desktop/Wardrobe_fairy (Update)/api/node_modules/bcrypt/node_modules/bindings/bindings.js:83
        throw e
        ^

Error: Module did not self-register.

I've deleted Bcrypt from Package.json and installed again through 'npm install bcrypt' Deleted and reinstalled /usr/local/lib Nodemon and Npm. Still the same error :(

I was facing the same issue while implementing worker thread. At the time of answering this bcrypt does n't support child_process. I have tried 'npm i bcrypt@napi --save' everything worked fine.

Figured out how to work around it:

MAC OSX Removed Node_modules folder from /Usr/local/bin Reinstalled stable node version global install npm install nodemon through npm globally delete old node-modules folder from the app and fresh sudo npm install.

It worked then.
