I want to deploy my website to Heroku but I get the next error:

error [email protected]: The platform "linux" is incompatible with this module.
error Found incompatible module.

I've already tried upgrading yarn, node but it didn't help. I use macOS Mojave v 10.14.5 and I cannot understand why is linux here.

I removed lines

fsevents@^1.2.7, fsevents@^2.0.6:
  version "2.0.7"
  resolved "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/fsevents/-/fsevents-2.0.7.tgz#382c9b443c6cbac4c57187cdda23aa3bf1ccfc2a"
  integrity sha512-a7YT0SV3RB+DjYcppwVDLtn13UQnmg0SWZS7ezZD0UjnLwXmy8Zm21GMVGLaFGimIqcvyMQaOJBrop8MyOp1kQ==

and

  optionalDependencies:
    fsevents "^2.0.6"

from yarn.lock. Next I removed

    "fsevents": "2.0.7",

from resolutions key in package.json

Finally on yarn install I can see

info [email protected]: The platform "linux" is incompatible with this module.
info "[email protected]" is an optional dependency and failed compatibility check. Excluding it from installation.

and

success Saved lockfile.
