Laravel Homestead, npm install --no-bin-links error

Question

I am using fresh Homestead (box version 0.5) for a fresh Laravel 5.3 app. Host OS is Windows 10.

I get this error when running npm install --no-bin-links

Answer 1

You can try this, as it is the system I usually use:

> npm install --no-bin-links
> npm install --no-bin-links
> npm rebuild node-sass

The first npm install ususally errors out with the "Maximum call stack size exceeded.". The second npm install picks up where it left off and finishes up the install. node-sass is usually broken at this point, so the npm rebuild fixes the node-sass installation.
