gatsby: Failed at the sharp@0.21.0 install script. on ubuntu 16.04

same issue building Gatsby site (Mac M1).

This worked: rm -rf node_modules rm package-lock.json npm install sharp npm install

I managed to resolve this issue. Firstly, CD into your new gatsby project folder and run yarn upgrade --latest then yarn install then gatsby develop

If that doesn’t work for you, I resolved the issue by installing node 8.14 (I’m not sure if this part is totally necessary, but this is how I got it to work) by doing: nvm install v8.14 I then switched to that instance nvm use v8.14 installed the gatsby package npm install --global gatsby-cli created a new project and cd’d into the directory gatsby new website cd website did a yarn update and install yarn upgrade --latest yarn install then ran gatsby develop

Let me know if it helped you!

I don’t really like jumping into issues that are marked closed but, given I found this when searching for an answer to my problem, it makes sense to.

I’m on Windows 10, using NodeJS v12.6 and npm 6.9.0, and had sharp failing to work or install. Deleting the node_modules directory wasn’t enough - I was still getting errors when trying to install again. Then I realised that the package-lock.json file was probably guiding the reinstallation and that hadn’t changed, so I deleted that as well as the node_modules. Running npm i this time worked perfectly.

Never sudo npm anything - source. Use npm install --unsafe-perm=true

None of the suggestions above worked for me (yarn, OS X, node 12.9.1) except for downgrading to Node 10, cleaning the yarn cache, rmving node_modules, running yarn install

Annoying having to downgrade my node version for some image processing functionality I don’t even use, but better than nothing I guess.

The same for me, W10 and NodeJS v12.6.0, yarn gave the sharp error (with my repo, cloned in a new computer)

I’ve gone to NodeJS v10.16.0 and yarn has succeeded, and everything works

Same here @IrregularShed, I picked up a Gatsby site I hadn’t touched for a while and ran into the issue.

Removing node_modules alone didn’t fix it, but deleting my yarn.lock did.

I just had the same issue and I could resolve it by installing sharp first: npm install sharp and then all npm modules npm install

That it does it installs the newer version of sharp and it seems to solving the problem.

Getting the exact same

@rickschmoo Tried all this in Mac M1

you should download the libvips tar package manually, then put it into a folder named “_libvips” which you should found it in global cache folder. Then you can try another install ,and it works!
