Hi, can you just confirm the command(s) you are running to get this output? Are you trying to install node-sass independently? Is it part of a different package?

I don’t even know what is node-sass .

5

I am not installing it so may be it is in the package

6

well, that’s the whole point of a package manager, to install packages required for the package you desire without you having to install everything by yourself.

So now how to resolve this issue

8

Original question: what is the command you are running to generate that output?

9

start by doing what npm suggests:

10

mine is 8.6.0.
that is the latest one

11

and npm ?

12

looks like somewhat outdated versions to me …

13

I think i updated later on so ieill check agian.
Thanks for the help

14

You shouldn’t be having a problem with 6 considering it is the most recent stable version. Version 8 is bleeding edge… I wouldn’t recommend using that except for experimental purposes. I have found these issues normally boil themselves down to permission issues. Did you install node as sudo by chance and running the install of node-sass as another user. That could be a cause.

15

I used the command it both with and without sudo

16

So back to the earlier question then, what command are you using to generate that output?
