If I create a fresh npm project:

mkdir ~/test
cd ~/test
npm init -y

And then try to install sharp:

npm install --save sharp

I get the following error messages:

> sharp@0.18.4 install /Users/hsribei/tmp/test/node_modules/sharp
> node-gyp rebuild

sh: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/node-gyp-bin/node-gyp: Permission denied

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

I've found instructions to delete ~/.node-gyp, tried that, didn't work. Deleting node_modules and trying again also doesn't work. Running as sudo doesn't help either.

Any ideas in how I can trace what the problem is?

I found out there is a missing global dependency for sharp.

If you run 

npm install -g node-gyp

first, then

npm install --save sharp

It works.
