Failed at the [email protected] postinstall script. Cannot manage to run this
I have gone through all the questions regarding this issue but I cannot seem to find anything that works.
I am getting this error :-
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! [email protected] postinstall: `node scripts/build.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] postinstall script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
I have tried to remove the node_modules and npm install again. I also tried to remove the node-sass folder in the node_modules and npm install -g node-sass@latest did not work too. I also tried
npm install -g node --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
and
npm uninstall node-sass
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g node-sass@latest
but nothing seems to be working at all. Is there someone who can shed some light on this please?
Thanks for your time
Answer
Unless you're working on some sort of shared project that has strict requirements you can do the following to overcome the issue:
1.) Delete your package.lock file - which indicates the versions to be locked at.
2.) Delete your node_modules folder which contains all the original installations and C++ binary compilations.
3.) Then npm install it all back and npm rebuild for good measure.
