I have this tiny configuration ``` version: 2 jobs: build: docker: - image: maloubobola/gcloud-node:latest steps: - checkout - restore_cache: key: dependency-cache-{{ checksum "package.json" }} - run: name: install-npm command: npm install --production - save_cache: key: dependency-cache-{{ checksum "package.json" }} paths: - ./node_modules ``` but all my builds are failing during `npm install --production`. This docker image `maloubobola/gcloud-node:latest` is working locally and used to work well in `gitlab CI`. I’m just migrating to `circleci`. Here is the error. Does someone has some idea to fix that ? > grpc@1.8.0 install /root/project/node\_modules/grpc > node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build --library=static\_library > node-pre-gyp ERR!

> [@thomasthiebaud](#): > > maloubobola/gcloud-node:latest What is this image? It looks like you missing some utilities like `make` ```auto gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make ``` You should be able to install it with `sudo apt-get install make` ---

The image has `build-essential`, which is supposed to has `make` included. Also everything is working well on my computer with the same image. I fixed the problem with a new image [https://hub.docker.com/r/maloubobola/circleci-gcloud-node/](https://hub.docker.com/r/maloubobola/circleci-gcloud-node/) ---
