I'm trying to run a recently cloned Gatsby project on an M1 Mac and it's failing. Getting the following error:

npm ERR! ERR! sharp Prebuilt libvips 8.10.5 binaries are not yet available for darwin-arm64v8

I've tried brew install vips, followed by npm install as a solution and it has not worked. Really need to get working on this project.

Error log below:

I just tried npm -g i sharp on my M1 MacBook Air and it works, so..there are a few things to know about your machine's environment.

  1. The brew formula is actually called libvips. I didn't have it installed and npm i sharp worked fine without it.

  2. Take a detailed look at https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install#custom-libvips and the next section "Building from Source". If you have libvips installed, you may need to set the env var SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS to ignore it.

  3. Make sure other npm dependencies in package.json are up to date if possible.

  4. As a workaround you could create a i386 arch copy of Terminal or iTerm2, place it in your Applications folder called "iTerm2 Rosetta", or something similar, and use the Get Info dialog on the file to enable Rosetta. You could even set a custom icon for it. enter image description here

In my case (mac M1), I had to install python as well, apart from installing sharp globally.

1. npm i -g sharp
2. ln -s "$(brew --prefix)/bin/python"{3,}
3. npm ls sharp  --> (to check if sharp is installed or not)
4. npm rebuild --verbose sharp
5. npm i

You can use the amd64 binary for npm

brew install nvm
arch -x86_64 zsh
nvm install 18
exit
npm install
