Any update on this? Did you get it resolved?

The error message states this is a permission issue. There's nothing to be
done in gulp-sass.

This is a different issue. Please open an issue with node-sass with the
sass code that produced the default.

The original issue was a permission issue. Not all installation issues are
the same issue.

@nikbelikov In my case, also I had to delete the package-lock.json and work normally.

Thanks guys and @akshayseth, removing package-lock.json and then running npm rebuild node-sass && npm i worked for me...

Also: If you're using yarn remove yarn.lock

berry807 picture berry807 on 28 Mar 2019

Reason: the node-sass folder you downloaded when npm install is empty

In 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roamingnpm-cachenode-sass\4.7.2\
Solution: download it by yourself with npm I node-sass

In "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roamingnpm-cachenode-sass\4.7.2\ '", there will be a file win32-x64-57_binding , Copy this file under 4.7.2 and then re-install npm install

@nikbelikov Thank you.

never run npm command with sudo
change the ownership of your folder using sudo chown -R username:username /Users/nikbelikov/Documents/20th-century/

"to know your username do 'whoami'

then do npm install whatever you want to

ranjan900795 picture ranjan900795 on 19 May 2020

@nikbelikov Thanks. It works for me!

$ sudo npm install node-sass --save-dev --unsafe-perm=true

Thank-you so much! It solved my problem.
