Gatsby: Gatsby issue on first time install

Created on 28 Dec 2019 · 12Comments · Source: gatsbyjs/gatsby

Hello!
This is the first time I'm trying Gatsby, but when I'm attempting to install it, the following error comes up, I tried a lot of fixes and commands but none of them works, so I come here if you can give me a hand on this:

It seems like you haven't completely installed dependencies yet. Executing npm update to update modules and dependencies would help.

Have the same problem on windows 10

elfilalime on 6 Jan 2020

@erickacevedor @elfilalime The issue here is that libvips is a dependency for sharp which gatsby-plugin-sharp uses (which is in the default starter that you're using)

Please check out https://github.com/libvips/libvips/#install for instructions on how to install it.

That should resolve the issue. If it doesn't, please feel free to reopen and comment. Thanks!

There is a workaround for this. Go to the file that its complaining about on that line and change the catch{ to catch(err) { and try again. It worked for me. I had to do the change on init-starter.js and ensure-windows-drive-letter-is-uppercase.js

@kentmz I followed the suggestion, but just hit the same error somewhere else
