npm install: Failed at the [email protected] postinstall script
I have a angular application: https://github.com/XBITSwitzerland/ngx-admin/tree/ng2-admin
And now I try to do: npm install
But I get this error (The compete Output of the command was way too long, so I just share here the last part):
gyp ERR! build error

Does someone have an Idea why this error occurs and how to solve it?
Answer
If you run into this issue, read this page: https://www.bramvandenbulcke.be/en/kb/failed-node-sass3131-postinstall-script
The solution in my case:
1) Delete the package-lock.json file
2) npm install gulp-sass --save-dev
3) npm install node-sass@latest
