• some environment：

nodejs : v16.14.2
npm : 8.5.0
OS : macOS Big Sur 11.6.4

I don't know why the installation went wrong, I hope you can help me.

Hi @yalin28
It seems your node_modules installation fails on sharp. This node module needs to build a binary, and it looks like your setup cannot make it.

• I would suggest trying with yarn: rm -rf node_modules ; yarn install, see if it changes anything.
• Since the build is made with Xcode binaries, you may want to check if you have any updates of Xcode through MacOS Software Updates.

[yalin28]

Thanks for your reply, without any changes in the environment, according to your suggestion, I tried to install it with yarn and it was successful. The project works perfectly ! ✌️✌️✌️

[smarroufin]

Glad to hear it!
If by any chance you find out why npm fails, keep me posted 😊

There's a bug in npm 8 relating to corrupt lockfiles that results in npm attempting to run node-gyp rebuild when it shouldn't.

Please see npm/cli#2606 (comment) for a possible workaround.

I have just encountered this issue as well, even with deleted lockfiles.

Even with lockfiles and using npx fix-has-install-script, I still have the issue.

The only thing the worked was running npm install --save-dev --build-from-source libvips in the affected workspace dir.

[smarroufin]

Thank you @lovell for the report!
I guess I didn't encounter it since I'm using npm 6 🙄

Thanks @metawrap-dev Nice to have a workaround for npm users

The cause of the issue for me was having a : character in the file path. Looks like something deep in the toolchain is not escaping/unescaping properly.
