The errors come when I run npm install with this package.json-file:

    ]
}

My attempts:

... And obviously I did rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json followed by npm install a bazillion times throughout my attempt of solving this.

I can see several places, something about people who gets similar errors, which is due to some yarn-thingy. I've haven't used any such thing.

Do I really have to endure this tedious and long install-procedure every time I run npm install.

so spent few hours with similar problem. tried with installed node v19,v18,v16 and all other tries like reinstall python node-gyp versions ... solution was to set node v14 and npm install fixed everything!

Ok... I figured most of it our myself. The problem was that node-sass had version "~2.0.0", which was too old. When I bumped that up to "4.0.1", then the recompiling of node-gyp went away.

Here was my process, though - for the rookies who want to try some things themselves:

  1. Remember that you have your local packages (in package.json) and your global packages (accessed by writing: npm -g ls --depth=0.

  2. You can remove all of your global packages, by following this answer.

  3. Then remove your devDependencies one at the time, and try running npm install until the stupid error goes away.

I'm still getting this error (which I wont solve, since I decreased my npm install-time by a minute or so, which is enough for me).
