Looks like the cached zip is broken. Does it work after

That did the trick!
Thanks a ton @stefanprobst . Was struggling with this since 2 days.

I have the same error (for the same Ubuntu Bionic), and doing @stefanprobst's rm /home/<user_name>/.npm/_libvips/libvips-8.6.1-linux-x64.tar.gz before gatsby new blog does not help.

It worked after I npm uninstall -g gatsby-cli, rm again and npm install --global gatsby-cli!

I'm still experiencing this issue on my Mac

Gatsby CLI version: 2.8.5
Gatsby version: 2.16.1

I experience it when i follow your video tutorial (https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/quick-start) suggesting
npx gatsby new gatsby-site

but not when I execute
gatsby new gatsby-starter-site

Does your video need to be updated?

I'm still experiencing this issue on my Mac
Gatsby CLI version: 2.8.5
Gatsby version: 2.16.1
I experience it when i follow your video tutorial (https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/quick-start) suggesting
npx gatsby new gatsby-site
but not when I execute
gatsby new gatsby-starter-site
Does your video need to be updated?

Also experiencing it now, i have been sturggling on this for days. Here is what i got when excute yarn or npm install

error /mnt/d/iot.docs.new/iot-docs-beta/node_modules/sharp: Command failed.

Hi, I was having this same problem in a fresh ubuntu install, I tried Installing the build essential package, but nothing seems to work, but I figure it out to install python 2.7 and after that, the problem was solved.
