I tried an npm install but that didn't install the node-sass binary. I ended up having to run

yarn --cwd assets

At the same folder where you have the package.json file, open terminal and type this: 

npm install node-sass

If after install this dependency still failling, remove node_modules and type: 

npm install

npm install will rebuild your node_modules folder with package.json dependencies updated (Previously, you install node-sass in package.json with 'npm install node-sass' command).

This helped me:

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm -g node-sass

try this: npx node-sass -o css sass/style.scss

npx will check whether <command> exists in $PATH, or in the local project binaries, and execute it. The more detail explanation is here

to use sass you must have node installed and than use the following command

sudo npm install -g node-sass

this is for linux users only, if you have not used "sudo" you will get the following error

node-sass not found

You may try this:

pwd

Checkout to your project directory, for eg:desktop

ls -la

Then see your project name and its position. Whether it’s in root. If its in root,

sudo chown -R <change to your position from root><projectname>/
cd <projectname>
cd ../
rm -rf node_modules/
ls
npm i

In my case, I was getting errors like this because npm install didn't run correctly. removing my node_modules and then rerunning that command removed my build errors.

It means command node-sass is missing in your system. node-sass is a node.js command which can be installed with

npm install -g node-sass

The -g switch means a node.js command which can run globally is being installed. Without -g means a node.js library is being installed at current directory.
