Sharp: ERR! sharp Use with glibc version 2.12 requires manual installation of libvips >= 8.7.4

[Jeromy-L]

I want to install sharp on the server，but when I execute the npm install sharp, I got this error message. Is this error because there is no dependency on the machine（libvips）? And the package was installed in the private internet？ is it because installed private

The use of glibc 2.12, which is almost 10 years old, suggests this is RHEL/CentOS 6 so you'll need to install libvips yourself.

For 32-bit Intel CPUs and older Linux-based operating systems such as those based on Red Hat Enterprise 6 (e.g. CentOS 6) compiling libvips from source is recommended.

Prebuilt binaries are provided for more recent operating systems.

To use a custom, globally-installed version of libvips instead of the provided binaries, make sure it is at least the version listed under config.libvips in the package.json file and that it can be located using pkg-config --modversion vips-cpp.
