Can someone give me a hand?

Thanks!

Hello, the salient part of this relatively descriptive message is:

info sharp Detected globally-installed libvips v8.6.3
info sharp Building from source via node-gyp
gyp ERR! stack Error: Python executable "/usr/local/anaconda3/bin/python" is v3.6.4, which is not supported by gyp.
gyp ERR! stack You can pass the --python switch to point to Python >= v2.5.0 & < 3.0.0.

Because a globally-installed version of libvips was found, sharp will compile itself from source to correctly link against that global version. The prerequisites to do this are listed at http://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/en/stable/install/#prerequisites and include node-gyp and therefore Python 2.7.

lovell, I am also bumping into the same issues when trying to install this module.
I've been trying to install it for several days on and off....
Getting the following error output:

I would be very grateful for your guidance as I am very interested in this module.

@byondrnd This issue is about Python 3 but your problem does not relate to it. Your problem does however mention sharp v0.11.4, which is almost three years old. Please try with the latest v0.20.1 and create a new issue if there are still problems.

[lovell]

@leodsgn Were you able to make any progress with this?

[codingleo]

Sorry the delay. @lovell I've just removed the libvips and used the built-in libvips from sharp. It worked fine! Thanks for the help! You can close this issue.

[williamgoodhew]

@codingleo where did you remove libvips from?
