What can i do?

[yesworld]

I understood. Terrible that I have to do downgrade node 11 to 10. :(
"Pre-compiled binaries for sharp are provided for use with Node versions 6, 8 and 10 on 64-bit Windows, OS X and Linux platforms."

[lovell]

Hello, if you weren't aware the nan dependency added support for Node 11 a couple of days ago in https://github.com/nodejs/nan/pull/830 so the next version of sharp can now support this also.

Please do not describe the work of open source maintainers as "terrible" when requesting unpaid help from them in the future.

[gauravsharmadev]

@lovell Thanks for the solution. We all love open source.

I downgraded the Node version from 12 to 10 then could install sharp.

Is there any solution for node v12.x yet? I had no issue with installing until today on my mac, and I used it extensively for lobg time. I still can install it without cleaning the cache and node_modules and yarn.lock, but if I remove yarn.lock and try to install from clean sheets, it fails with error:
