Gatsby Develop : Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

Question

I just did a git clone off a starter template on Gatsby-- bumped into this error when I ran 'gatsby develop'. I've deleted the node module, as well as the sharp module in node module. To no avail. Do let me know what's going on at this point! :-)

- Remove the "node_modules/sharp" directory, run "npm install" and look for errors

By the way, I went to package.json and changed the dependency version of sharp to '[email protected]'. It was previously [email protected]!

Any leads?

EDIT Ran ' npm install --verbose sharp'

Answer 1

Delete the node_module folder first and then try out the below-given methods! This works for me

Update the version of the sharp package manually in the package.json file and then try to run the command npm i sharp

or first, install sharp package and then run the command npm install

Answer 2

In Windows, you may need extra dependencies to make the sharp module work. Try running:

npm install --global windows-build-tools --vs2015

Upon installing this package, it downloads and installs Visual C++ Build Tools 2015, provided free of charge by Microsoft. These tools are required to compile popular native modules. It will also install Python 2.7, configuring your machine, and npm appropriately.

Check Gatsby on Windows docs for further information.

Answer 3

On my Windows machine another possible solution is to update all the related gatsby plugins (for images). I did it with yarn, of course, as suggested delete the node modules beforehand.

yarn upgrade-interactive --latest

Pick the onces you need, hope that solves the errors.

Answer 4

The problem could be anything but what worked for me was downgrading my nodejs version, specifically to 14.15.0 using nvm. steps to follow :

• Downgrade nodejs version.
• Delete any package-lock.json or yarn-lock.json from the root folder.
• Delete node_modules folder.
• Delete .cache folder.
• Run npm install or yarn install. Hopefully, it will fix the issue, if it doesn't you can refer to the issues page of the library and more specifically on this issue

Answer 5

Gatsby has an answer for this here.

To fix this, you’ll need to update all Gatsby plugins in the current project that depend on the sharp package. Here’s a list of official plugins that you might need to update in case your projects uses them:

gatsby-plugin-sharp
gatsby-plugin-manifest
gatsby-remark-images-contentful
gatsby-source-contentful
gatsby-transformer-sharp
gatsby-transformer-sqip

To update these packages, run:

npm install gatsby-plugin-sharp gatsby-plugin-manifest gatsby-remark-images-contentful gatsby-source-contentful gatsby-transformer-sharp gatsby-transformer-sqip

If updating these doesn’t fix the issue, your project probably uses other plugins from the community that depend on a different version of sharp. Try running npm list sharp or yarn why sharp to see all packages in the current project that use sharp and try updating them as well.
