I cant install sharp library using sudo npm install sharp.

The terminal output:

    You’ve messed up your installed npm packages’ permissions by using sudo. Don’t use sudo with npm. Anyway, if you install sharp local to your project, you can bypass the broken installation in Users/kozakiewicz/node_modules for now. – Ry- Oct 14 '19 at 21:13

Delete all dependencies with rm -rf node_modules and also delete /home/USER/.npm/_libvips/libvips-8.8.1-linux-x64.tar.gz and try again That should fix.

This has a few probable causes, the one that got me was node version.

I had node --version set to 14.0.0 where it should be the same as whats set in the environment.

  1. Install nvm (node version manager)
  2. find what version of node you need to use
  3. nvm use 10 or replace 10 with your node version value.

Copied a libvips-8.8.1-linux-x64.tar.gz from a working machine and pasted it on /home/USER/.npm/_libvips/ solved the issue

Maybe you are running with root user.

Try npm config -g set unsafe-perm true, even though it is kind of dangerous

if you using Ubuntu try this

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install libvips-dev
npm rebuild sharp
sudo npm install sharp

Run your command with sudo e.g sudo [your command]

    No. That was never a good practice to begin with, and thankfully the Node ecosystem doesn't require you do to it any more. – Raydot May 21 '22 at 22:42
