Difficulty installing gatsby-plugin-sharp - node-gyp errors

[zapbampow]

Description

I'm simply trying to install gatsby-plugin-sharp so that I can use gatsby-image. However, when I try to it running into errors that I'm unable to fix.

Steps to reproduce

npm install --save gatsby-plugin-sharp
This obviously works for everyone else.

Actual result

It begins the process of downloading and installing. Then I get the following errors related to node-gyp. I have read through issue 1754, but I wasn't able to get a different result after trying some of the solutions mentioned there. Maybe someone will see more in the errors than I can see.

Bam! That’s it. Sometimes a person with the right answer is way better than piles of googling.
