npm just won't install node sass

问题

I first encountered the issue when trying to use ionic and it needed the dependency for its templates. Then when I tried to install node-sass with npm myself the issue persisted. This is on Windows 10 Version 1703, both nodejs 6.11.3 and nodejs 8.4.0 tried out, ended up with same result. And VPN, http proxy were tried with no luck. Basically, it's saying :

Cannot download "https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.5.3/win32-x64-57_binding.node"

when nothing is fiddled with ,it says :

connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443

when using npm set config proxy,it says something like:

tunnel cannot be established

when using VPN,it waits forever at :

node scripts/install.js

or outputs the same as if nothing is fiddled with.

When reporting an bug, you must provide this information:

NPM version (npm -v): 5.3.0 with node latest(8.4.0), default version with node 6.11.3
Node version (node -v):LTS(6.11.3) and LATEST(8.4.0)
Node Process (node -p process.versions):

{ http_parser: '2.7.0', node: '8.4.0', v8: '6.0.286.52', uv: '1.13.1', zlib: '1.2.11', ares: '1.10.1-DEV', modules: '57', nghttp2: '1.22.0', openssl: '1.0.2l', icu: '59.1', unicode: '9.0', cldr: '31.0.1', tz: '2017b' }
Node Platform (node -p process.platform): win32
Node architecture (node -p process.arch): x64
node-sass version (node -p "require('node-sass').info"): Error: Cannot find module 'node-sass'
npm node-sass versions (npm ls node-sass): `-- (empty)

and there is the output

---> npm install -g node-sass

Hint: If github.com is not accessible in your location
      try setting a proxy via HTTP_PROXY, e.g.

      export HTTP_PROXY=http://example.com:1234

or configure npm proxy via

      npm config set proxy http://example.com:8080

Then someone tells me:

Well ECONNREFUSED is easy - you have configured npm to talk to the proxy at 127.0.0.1 (localhost) port 443 but the proxy does not seem to be active for this port. Please check proxy/VPN software configuration - port numbers must match.

But the thing is I don't have proxy configured. I tried npm config rm proxy,and npm config delete proxy, I even tried just go with it and set up a proxy then point npm to that proxy like I described above, nothing works.And here is the powershell enviroment config just in case:

⚡ rick@DESKTOP-1NVA03E  ~  $reg = "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"

⚡ rick@DESKTOP-1NVA03E  ~  $settings = Get-ItemProperty -Path $reg                                                    

⚡ rick@DESKTOP-1NVA03E  ~  $settings.ProxyServer

I just came across the same problem. It was solved by installing Python v2.7 in C:\Python27\ . (I previously only had Python 3.6 installed in C:\Program Files\Python36\ )

回答2:

it looks like compatibility issue of the node-sass module. You can solve this issue by following a few steps.

give the below command in your terminal

node list node-sass

It will list all your node-sass dependencies( including nested dependencies)

check all versions of node sass and also check supported node-sass for Node.js installed in your machine

You can either change the Node.js version in your machine or add the following code in package.json

    "resolutions": {
        "*/node-sass": "*"
     },

Remove node_module folder and yarn.lock file (assuming that you use yarn) once you make the above change.

Install the node_modules using yarn install

If you prefer npm instead of yarn you might need to install an additional package called npm force resolutions

回答3:

I had this issue for days looking for possible answers. I downgraded my node.js from 9.3.0 to v6.12.2 and run (all errors were gone):

        npm update

Hopefully, this can help some of you who have encountered similar errors.

回答4:

I have resolved this issue by changing compatible version of node.

It may be problem of compatibility of node version with node-sass version you are using. Please check the below document to see the compatibility table and install appropriate node version.
