Gatsby: Problem installing Plugins / Windows10

[KingLouisXVII]

I was able to install a theme and the filesystem but failed at sharp and remark. Any clue what the problem is here?

Hi,

the sharp plugin is a bit painful - but the instruction here:

https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-on-windows/

make it work on Windows (go to "If npm install still fails…")

Could you try with Python 2.7 not 3 ?

thanks so much for the quick responses! I was able to install the plugins after installing the windows build tools. But now I am stuck a the gatsby develop part. Any ideas?

ah i remember, i had the same problem. this pngquant. exe was not installed. I think i npm installed pngquant-bin manually. make sure the exe shows up in the node_modules directory

[KingLouisXVII]

thanks so much! It is working now (the real work can finally begin).
