why?

Have you tried to run npm install or yarn install from within your project directory?

[kaigon]

I'm running into the same errors.

(not using yarn)

Same errors gongph is encountering. Doesn't matter if I install via gridsome create, or if I enter the newly created directory and npm install there.

I tried, but it still didn't work.

OK, I'm having luck with npm rebuild then re-running npm install. I feel like I've done exactly that a couple of times, but this last time, it seemed to take. Oh, and I also downgraded my Node to v10.16.0 and NPM is v6.9.0, that seems to be getting me through.

I'm unlucky in developing under Termux terminal on Android...

Do I need to install Python?

[vintprox]

Ok, compiling for Android is clutter... I installed Python 2.7, but node-gyp also requires GCC, and installing it via Termux environment was not successful.

Now I have to use other JAMstack solution... 😪

[PatrickLohan]

Using Ubuntu 19.04, node 12.10.0
Getting build sharp 0.21.3 error
Have installed sharp (latest, 0.23.0 and 0.21.3)
Still error

Can't downgrade node due to latest needed.
Do I need to install some sort of node environment manager in order to use gridsome, or will the sharp package problem be fixed soon?

[courdek]

Having same issues. Doesnt matter if i use the CLI or install from inside the dir.

OSX 10.14.5
Node v12.6 or v10.16.0
NPM 6.9.0.
Yarn 1.17.3

Running npm rebuild didn't help either.

Fails on [email protected] install, fatal error: 'vips/vips8' file not found

[u12206050]

I'm having the same issue now after trying to reinstall. Could it be a sharp issue?

[appdevnick]

Same issue here. I think it is a Sharp issue because I tried installing just that package with the same error. Is there a way to install Gridsome without sharp support?

[brunodeangelis]

Same here. Probably related to Sharp but can't confirm so.

[lukepearce]

I'm having the same issue now after trying to reinstall. Could it be a sharp issue?

Working for me this morning 👍

[u12206050]

So after some digging/searching and trying these steps solved it for me:

rm -rf /Users/{username}/.npm/_libvips
brew install vips // If this command throws some error about could not download cfitsio, just ignore.
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

[appdevnick]

It is working for me today as well. Thanks for the quick fix!

Worked for me, thanks for the fix!!

[monkuver]

It doesn't work for me
OSX 10.15.1
Node v13.0.1
NPM 6.12.1
Yarn 1.19.2

[igorvisi]

Same error after upgrade !!
OS: ArchLinux

Resolved by :

• switch to v10.16.0 with NVM
• delete node_modules
• run npm install

[igortrinidad]

@monkuver , im using node 10.16 like @igorvisi ... Try this too, may be it help you... If yes you could set your terminal to change node versions according folder/project...

[nandes2062]

Delete all dependencies with rm -rf node_modules and also delete /home/USER/.npm/_libvips/libvips-8.8.1-linux-x64.tar.gz and try again
That should fix.
Fix resolved in Gridsome & Gatsby https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58384116/i-cant-install-sharp-using-npm

[michaelVictoriaDev]

At the end your solution worked using

npm install --unsafe-perm

I am not sure about this flag capability I could not find it as a reference on npm but thanks for all

ref: https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/1627

[k3ntar0]

Summary of mentions as above (it doesn't work for me at all)

• $ rm -rf /Users/{username}/.npm/_libvips
• $ brew install vips

You should try downgrade node to stable version

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

v13.10.1 -> v12.16.1

https://www.hostingadvice.com/how-to/update-node-js-latest-version/

[amanmohla]

I have tried almost everything mentioned on this thread....even downgrading my node version from v12.16.3 to v10.16 but I still can't get Sharp working

MacOS: v10.15.4
Node: v10.16.0 & v12.16.3
npm: v6.4.1 & v6.14.4
yarn: v1.19.0

Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

I have tried

• npm cache clean -f
• npm install --unsafe-perm

Even tried

• rm -rf /Users/{username}/.npm/_libvips
• brew install vips

But no luck yet :(

Anyone else still facing this issue?

[igortrinidad]

I tried right now and it works fine here, check my environment:

Mac 10.13.6
Node v10.16.3
"gridsome": "^0.7.0"

I don't know but sometimes you have to choose only one package manager, i faced some problems running yarn with npm install...

You can fork the project that i used this workaround to check if is something with your package.json or project...

[josh-collinsworth]

I'm having these same issues, and nothing in the thread is working for me. (_Edit:_ this is both on my existing projects _and_ any new Gridsome project I try to spin up.)

Tried changing my Node version, removing the node_modules folder, all the brew things, and all the npm things, including rebuild and --unsafe-perm.

When I try to remove/reinstall node_modules, I get a ton of error messages , eventually culminating in this (username and project name removed):

> [email protected] install /Users/{username}/Projects/{project_name}/node_modules/sharp
> (node install/libvips && node install/dll-copy && prebuild-install) || (node-gyp rebuild && node install/dll-copy)

When I try to run gridsome develop, I get this:

Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

Cannot find module '../build/Release/sharp.node'

Weird thing is, this just came out of nowhere. It was working perfectly today, then all of a sudden it just wasn't tonight, without any apparent changes made in my environment. I'm at the end of my wits. Any help appreciated.

[igorvisi]

Which version of node are you using ?
With NVM I switch to v10.16.0 when I want to work with gridsome.

Try :

unset NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX
nvm use --delete-prefix v10.16.0
rm -rf node_modules
npm install 
gridsome develop

Thank you for this; sadly, though I hadn't tried the first two commands before, they still gave me the same result. 😕

[josh-collinsworth]

It may be relevant that the brew install vips command never seems to resolve for me. It always either fails to start, or hangs somewhere. It never gives me a success message (or an error, for that matter; it just goes silent as though it's stuck running forever).

[josh-collinsworth]

The thing that finally worked for me was to install sharp myself. Doesn't feel like a great workaround, and yarn still spits out a ton of deprecation warnings when I run it, but at least my site is back accessible again after several hours.

npm install sharp

[u12206050]

@josh-collinsworth Have you done this:

rm -rf /Users/{username}/.npm/_libvips
brew install vips
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

[josh-collinsworth]

Yeah I did try that several times but eventually gave up because the brew command never finishes. FWIW, I'm not sure what I did this most recent time, but restarting my Mac is what seemed to make everything click again. Thanks for the reply though.

If you've found this thread and nothing's working for you: don't forget to restart occasionally.

I gather from other searches some of this may be related to MacOS Catalina, too. I found a separate thread about sharp and having to reinstall xcode on Catalina (which I also did).

[igortrinidad]

Ouch! Im sorry to hear that! Have tried format your hd? I dont know, this shouldnt happens, but could something broken in your envronment... The keyboard of my macbook late 2011 had broken and while im waiting another kb arrive im using an Ubuntu to code and i builded the repo with gridsome yesterday with zero problems in this pc with ubuntu...

And i had digging into the graphql tool of gridsome and it was amazing 🤩🤓🤪

[Kuri-su]

or you can download libvips's tar package of here , for example , i'm download libvips-8.9.1-linux-x64.tar.gz, then move libvips-8.9.1-linux-x64.tar.gz to ~/.npm/_libvips folder, and run npm/yarn install ,

$ cd /tmp && wget https://github.com/lovell/sharp-libvips/releases/download/v8.9.1/libvips-8.9.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
$ mv libvips-8.9.1-linux-x64.tar.gz ~/.npm/_libvips/
$ cd - && yarn install

[jd-fillmore]

So after some digging/searching and trying these steps solved it for me:

rm -rf /Users/{username}/.npm/_libvips
brew install vips // If this command throws some error about could not download cfitsio, just ignore.
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

@u12206050 , this seems to be a solution if you're on a Mac.

Any solution for Windows? I'm getting the same "python" error (made a thread here) that another guy up top was getting. I've had this project for almost two years and suddenly when trying to run the project last week, I get the Python error.

I haven't been able to start this project since.

[envygeeks]

Can we remove the dependence on sharp and libvips? vips is a hefty dependency to carry, in that on Linux this dependency is so big it's a nightmare (and often doesn't work because libvips is a nightmare source to begin with) and I'm not a big fan of having to install a thousand dependencies that I'll never use.

[yesworld]

I faced the same problem... node v12

https://github.com/lovell/sharp
Upgrade Sharp to 0.26 version. It's work for me.

i got this error with 2 differents projects also :(

[alainib]

any fix please ?

[igorvisi]

@alainib
Switch to version 10.16 of nodejs
The nvm tool can help

[alainib]

@igorvisi

node --version
v15.0.1

i'am not sur about what you mean. can you give more details please ?
thanks

[igorvisi]

@alainib
Version 10.16 of nodejs does not give any errors. It would be better to switch to this version when using gridsome.

There is an tool : NVM(Node Version Manager) that allows to easily switch from one version of nodejs to another per project.

• Just install it and switch to version 10.16 of nodejs,
• remove the node_modules folder from your project
• redo an npm install under version 10.16 of nodejs.
