Answer 1

After uninstalling node-sass try cleaning your npm cache. After that try installing node-sass again.

npm cache clean && npm install node-sass

Answer 2

rolling back to node v10.17.0 fixed the problem to me.

You can use nvm to do so:

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

> nvm install 10.17.0
> nvm use 10.17.0
> node -v
10.17.0

Answer 3

I needed to take the following steps to "resolve" this problem:

1. Create folder at the root: mkdir ~/safe_node_module;
2. Download package wget -q https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.13.0/linux-x64-72_binding.node and then send to the folder created in step 1;
3. Set the export environment variable export SASS_BINARY_PATH=/home/ronaldaraujo/safe_node_module/linux-x64-72_binding.node;
4. Install packages normally npm i;

Answer 4

Sometime unable to download file win32-x64-79_binding.node due to your proxy restrict to download so plase follow this below link set them manually. https://github.com/sass/node-sass/issues/2773

Answer 5

I also had to face the same problem with node v12.16.3.

1. Remove node-sass dependency from your package.json if it is mentioned in your dependencies.This will allow npm to install other required dependencies without any disruption.

2. Delete package-lock.json file and node_modules folder from your project.

3. Force clean the entire NPM cache by using following comand.

   npm cache clean --force
   

4. Re-Install all the dependencies.

   npm install
   

5. Now you can install node-sass.

   npm i node-sass
