Describe the Bug

I attempted to install wrangler using the instructions on the Github readme:

npm install wrangler --save-dev

I expected the installation to succeed. Instead, I see a build failure related to better-sqlite3:

I believe this is related to #2318 which was supposed to have been fixed in #2810 — perhaps I am doing something wrong, or there has been a regression.

Please provide a link to a minimal reproduction

Hi, Having same issue on M1 mac. #3531

[peterldowns]

Following up — when I tried to run npm install wrangler --save-dev I was inside of a nix developer environment. When I tried again in a new, empty directory, without being inside of a nix-managed developer environment, the command worked without issue. @chrizy is it possible you're also trying to install within an environment where your CC or CFLAGS or other build-related environment variables have been modified in some way?

Because I can install without problems outside of my nix environment, which definitely modifies compiler variables and flags, I'm going to close this issue. Sorry for the false alarm.
