what should i do to fix this error ???

[sebastianmacarescu]

Run pkg install binutils. Ar should be there

[aiko-chan-ai]

i tried and this time it says require nodejs v14. what should I do

[jsjoeio]

I also had issues getting node v14. Ideally you'd install a tool like nvm but I couldn't get it working unfortunately

[aiko-chan-ai]

thanks for your reply

[nikelborm]

God, thank you very much!
my problem was not related to this project, I just found it with google search operators

I tried to install bcrypt package on termux

with the same /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh: 1: ar: not found error

And this helped me

These headers are for google crawlers and next people faced with termux bcrypt npm yarn install error

termux

bcrypt

ar: not found

You can also follow the docs here

[sebastianmacarescu]

I can confirm this works
