Error: Node Sass does not yet support your current environment: OS X 64-bit with Unsupported runtime (72)

Question

I'm using macOS Catalina 10.15.3.

I'm generating thumbnail images with this Jekyll theme, and when I enter gulp img, that error occurs.

Requiring external module babel-register
~/node_modules/node-sass/lib/binding.js:13
      throw new Error(errors.unsupportedEnvironment());
      ^

I tried everything, like npm install, npm uninstall, npm rebuild node-sass, and so on, but I don't know why the error appears.

What version of node are you running? node --version - it looks like you're running an outdated version of Node Sass... The error message you are getting points to a link for v4.7.1 - but v4.13.1 is the newest release...Also, have a look at other issues that people have filed for the same error, as they offer resolutions. – Schoenfelder

@MattOestreich When I run node --version, it says that I'm currently using v12.16.1 now. – Genuflect

Looks like it may be an issue with one of the dependencies you are using.. See here – Schoenfelder

@MattOestreich How can I find the old dependencies and upgrade them? – Genuflect

Search your node_modules via a file search...... – Schoenfelder

@MattOestreich Should I look over package.json or the folder named node_modules at the root of the project? – Genuflect

The folder called node_modules. – Schoenfelder

I have the same problem ... with a Vue application ... on MacOS 10.15.5 – Prescription

Answer 1

I had the same problem. For me it helped to reinstall NodeJs (in my case 14.15.1 LTS) and then the already mentioned command:

npm rebuild node-sass

Good job my bro. – Inversely

@Samuel,I hope my answer could help you. If it is so, you could set my answer as correct. Thx – Bleeding

What would be the yarn equivalent? – Irrationality

Answer 2

I had the same problem. Tried to rebuild node-sass after the most recent Mac OS update using other answers. Switching to Dart Sass was my last resort after update node, npm, reinstalling all packages and rebuilding node-sass.

node-sass is deprecated in favor of dart sass:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-sass

https://sass-lang.com/dart-sass

After uninstalling node-sass and installing sass, I still get warnings when doing yarn build, but my react project is building again.

npm uninstall node-sass
npm install sass

Answer 3

In addition to Charles Letcher's response above, I wanted to add that the npm sass version also works for those on ARM/M1 architecture.

I took my existing Gulp project and installed sass on Node v14 and Node v16. Once this happened, my project launched flawlessly.
