If you're using Gatsby, it's good to check if updating all packages associated with sharp helps. I had this problem twice, and it helped

yarn add gatsby-plugin-sharp gatsby-plugin-manifest gatsby-transformer-sharp gatsby-transformer-sqip

Or

npm install gatsby-plugin-sharp gatsby-plugin-manifest gatsby-transformer-sharp gatsby-transformer-sqip

I encountered the identical issue, however, the execution of this single command line successfully resolved the problem at hand.

npm rebuild --verbose sharp

Please refer to the installation documentation under Common problems for further guidance.

if trying some quick command fixes don't work you can try rebuilding the node_modules.

Delete the whole node_modules folder and run npm install

npm install

If anyone has this problem and other solutions didn't solve it. Try to uninstall vips globally, it worked for me.

npm -g uninstall libvips
brew uninstall vips

Then:

yarn clean
yarn install
gatsby develop

Maybe you configured npm to ignore installation scripts. In that case delete the sharp module and run:

npm install --ignore-scripts=false

You may need to completely reinstall expo-cli package.

yarn global remove expo-cli
yarn global add expo-cli

OR

npm uninstall expo-cli -g
npm install expo-cli -g

(If you don't have expo-cli installed globally, remove global / -f flags)
