gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix npm install -g shows deprecation warning for [email protected] [1 comments, 2 participants]

npm warn deprecated [email protected]: No longer maintained. Please contact the author of the relevant native addon; alternatives are available.

TL;DR

Update or replace the transitive dependency [email protected] with a maintained alternative to resolve the deprecation warning.

Guidance

• Identify the package that depends on [email protected] by analyzing the dependency tree of @google/gemini-cli.
• Check if there are any updates available for the identified package that use a maintained version of prebuild-install or an alternative.
• Consider opening an issue or pull request with the maintainers of @google/gemini-cli to update their dependencies.
• If a maintained alternative is available, consider using that instead of [email protected] directly if possible.

Notes

The solution may require coordination with the maintainers of @google/gemini-cli or its dependencies, and may not be immediately resolvable by the user.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update or replace the transitive dependency [email protected] with a maintained alternative, as this is a deprecation warning rather than a critical error, and an upgrade to a fixed version is not clearly implied.
