I installed npm install node-pre-gyp -g on the root user.then tried installing npm i firebase again

[jamesradford]

and? did it fix the problem?

[ryanpbrewster]

gyp ERR! stack Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain

seems like an issue with your SSL certificates. Is npm able to install anything on your machine (e.g., can you try npm install lodash and see if that also throws the error)? Are you on a network behind a corporate firewall?

[jamesradford]

i was behind a firewall but I get the same error with or without it

[meerkat-citronella]

i also have this issue

[theogravity]

I was able to get it to work using node v8. Won't work with v10/v12.

I did see the certificate chain issue, but it was because I was using the wrong configuration data for the config.js file, which went away when I defined it along with serviceAccountKeys.json.
