Gatsby: Gatsby develop error: 'pngquant.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

[Louisrobertson20]

Description

When running gatsby develop, I get the error: ' 'node_modules\pngquant- bin\vendor\pndor\pngquant.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.'

Steps to reproduce

Download 'Gatsby Personal Starter Blog' from the Gatsby CMS tutorial. I've tried to configure my Windows 10 environment as that seemed to cause initial issues (but may not have ironed out everything). Type 'gatsby develop' in command line.

Expected result

I should be able to see my Gatsby website in local host 8000.

Actual result

Error as above.

Can you run npm rebuild and paste the output? I suspect that during installation of dependencies some binaries fail to build. Given that you are on Windows https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/gatsby-on-windows/ this might be relevant (especially when running npm rebuild or deleting node_modules and reinstalling you will see error messages mentioned there in "if npm install" fails)

That did the trick! The npm rebuild command ironed out all issues and I can now view the site on local host. Thank you!

Glad to hear that fixed it. I'll close the issue now.
