Cant connect to firestore.

• Operating System version: elementary os loki Linux4.13.6+
• Firebase SDK version: 4.6.0
• Firebase Product: firestore

Steps to reproduce:

1. install firebase sdk
2. start script with node node ./index.js

Error

➔ node index.js
module.js:529
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module '/home/harisvsulaiman/node_modules/grpc/src/node/extension_binary/grpc_node.node'

Relevant Code:

let firebase = require("firebase");
// Required for Side Effects
require("@firebase/firestore");
require("firebase/auth");

const config = {
  apiKey: "",
  authDomain: "",
  databaseURL: "",
  projectId: ""
};

firebase.initializeApp(config);

firebase
  .firestore()
  .collection("users")
  .add({ kdskd: "dsd" })
  .then(params => {
    console.log(params);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
  });

Hmmm this issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

@harisvsulaiman this is the same as issue #221
here is the temp solution I have been using: #221 (comment)
feel free to close this one

[harisvsulaiman]

@goldensunliu Closing this in favour of #221

[goldensunliu]

@harisvsulaiman close?

@goldensunliu @harisvsulaiman I'm assuming this was meant to be closed.
