I have a colleague who's having issues with npm install, I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same issue...
Win 10 x64
Node 8.9.3
Global npm packages installed:
npm 5.6.0
rimraf 2.6.2
(We have multiple PCs all running identical node/npm versions for consistency, so this can't be updated on a whim)
We have a package json with a dev dependency of "typescript": ^"2.0.6"
On all other dev machines, doing npm install on a fresh clone of our repo (no node_modules / typings), we get given typescript 2.7.2, the latest minor version of typescript to date.
On this one machine, we are given 2.6.2, consistently.
We have completely uninstalled node, removed %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\npm & %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache to no avail.
For completeness we have also run npm cache verify.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, we are stumped.
Might be the same problem here. I think below link helps you to get more about working with package versions.
as you specified that you have a package.json with a dev dependency of "typescript": ^"2.0.6".
Just try by replacing the below line in your package.json file.
"typescript": "exact version you needed"
Ex. "typescript": "2.0.6"
Including with this before running npm install just delete the package-lock.json file from your projects root directory if any.
Should I manually update dependencies versions in the package.json after creating a new project with npm?
While working on a node project, I am having trouble separating installation of application and test dependencies using npm. I am using node version 8.1.2 and npm version 5.0.3.
To elaborate, I am using docker to create production and test images for my node application with the idea that the production image will have only the application dependencies installed (e.g. aws-sdk, xml-builder). I am doing this by running npm install -q --only=prod in the production docker image.
The test image extends the production image and installs the test dependencies (e.g. chai, mocha) on top of it. This is achieved by running npm install -q --only=dev command in the test docker image. The purpose of this exercise is to create a clean production image that doesn't have unnecessary packages.
But when I execute the latter npm command (npm install -q --only=dev) it removes the packages installed by the first install. I'm doing the same thing in another project that uses an older version of npm and node and it works fine.
Did something change in the latest version of npm? If so is there another prescribed way of achieving the same effect?
It's not because of the new version of Node.js, but because of the new version of npm that is bundled together (version 5).
In your case you could do one of these:
Execute first npm install --only=prod in your production image, and then just npm install in your test image.
Deleting package-lock.json after the first npm install.
Using the option --no-package-lock in each npm install.
The new npm version uses a new file called package-lock.js, the one producing this behaviour, more info here.
EDIT:
I just found out this is an issue with npm, it seems it will be fixed in the next release. At the moment the workarounds I wrote above should work.
I am having issues building an app because node-sass keeps failing with the error.
ERROR in Missing binding /Users/warren/Sites/random-docs/my-cms/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-11/binding.node
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: OS X 64-bit with Node 0.10.x
I have tried running
npm rebuild node-sass
which says
Binary is fine; exiting.
When running node -v I get v6.2.2
Which is different to what the sass error says "Node 0.10.x". I can't figure out why it is getting the wrong version. I have also tried removing the node_modules folder and running npm update or npm install, both of which did not resolve the issue. Any ideas?
I had the same problem
There is an error in your gulpfile:
Error: Missing binding E:\allapp\badshaindiancuisine\node_module\node-sass\vendor\win32-x64-46\binding.node
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment:Windows 64-bit with Node.js 4.x
Found bindings for the following environment:
- OS X 64-bit with Node.js 4.x
How to solve the problem
By going into the project folder and then executing the command:
npm rebuild node-sass
For those that are using Visual Studio:
Currently working for VS 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 (via below and/or replies from this post)
Task Runner Explorer can't load tasks
For VS 2015
Go to: Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > External Web Tools
For VS 2017(.3), VS 2019, and VS 2022
Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Web Package Management > External Web Tools (per #nothrow)
In VS 2017, 2019, 2022, you also need to put $(PATH) above $(VSINSTALLERDIR)\Web\External
Reorder so that $(PATH) is above $(DevEnvDir)\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\External
Deleting node_modules and running npm install and then npm rebuild node-sass did nothing.
**Just execute: ** npm rebuild node-sass --force
If the above for some reason didn't work out for you, try this:
Delete node-sass folder under node_modules
npm install
In my case it also couldn't find Python.
Following procedure solved the issue (Windows):
npm rebuild node-sass --force
-- cannot find python.exe, if you have Python installed, add it to your path:
set PYTHON=C:\Python27\Python.exe
-- else: download python "Windows x86-64-MSI" installer from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2714/
-- install python
-- at installation start check: add env variable to path
-- after successfull installation:
npm rebuild node-sass --force
-- finished successfully
Worked for me:
Just delete the node-sass folder and run npm install.
I had the same problem in a Windows environment, receiving the following error:
Error: Missing binding C:\Development{ProjectName}\node_modules\node-sass\vendor\win32-ia32-47\binding.node
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Windows 32-bit with Node.js 5.x
Found bindings for the following environments:
- Windows 64-bit with Node.js 6.x
None of the npm commands listed in the other answers here (npm install, npm rebuild node-sass, etc.) worked.
Instead, I had to download the missing binding and place it in the appropriate destination folder.
The bindings can be found on git. Match the file with the folder name identified after /node_modules/node-sass/vendor/ in your error message ('darwin-x64-11' in your case, so you'd want the darwin-x64-11_binding.node file).
Create the missing folder in your project (/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-11), copy the .node file to the new directory, and rename it to binding.node.
Node-sass release URL:
https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases
I had a similar problem and the reason was that there were two versions of Node installed in my machine: one "global" and another one at the project level.
Sass will build correctly only if the Gulp build is running under Node.js 4.x version, so make sure you upgrade the version of Node you are using.
PS: If you completely remove the node_modules folder in your project and re-build from scratch, npm will download the correct dependencies for your current system & node version.
npm rebuild node-sass --force
Or, if you are using node-sass within a container:
docker exec <container-id> npm rebuild node-sass --force
This error occurs when node-sass does not have the correct binding for the current operating system.
If you use Docker, this error usually happens when you add node_modules directly to the container filesystem in your Dockerfile (or mount them using a Docker volume).
The container architecture is probably different than your current operating system. For example, I installed node-sass on macOS but my container runs Ubuntu.
If you force node-sass to rebuild from within the container, node-sass will download the correct bindings for the container operating system.
See my repro case to learn more.
in some cases you need to uninstall and install node-sass library. Try:
npm uninstall --save node-sass
and
npm install --save node-sass
look at this its work for me,
Stack link here
node-sass node module uses darwin binary file which is dependent on the version of node. This issue occurs when the binary file is not downloaded or wrong binary file is downloaded.
[![Node sass error][1]][1]
Reinstall node modules will download expected binary of node-sass:-
For Mac users:
rm -rf node_modules
npm cache clean --force
npm i
npm rebuild node-sass --force
For Windows users:
rmdir node_modules
npm cache clean --force
npm i
npm rebuild node-sass --force
but for some users, you need to check your node version's compatibility with node-sass version. Make it compatible using below table and run above commands again to fix this issue.
This is node compatibility table with node-sass
NodeJS | Supported node-sass version | Node Module
Node 17 7.0+ 102
Node 16 6.0+ 93
Node 15 5.0+ 88
Node 14 4.14+ 83
Node 13 4.13+, <5.0 79

* Docker related answer here *
Answer for if you are seeing this problem, or something similar, and are using Docker.
Cause: When copying over the current file structure to inside the Docker container, you may be copying over node modules from one OS system to another (e.g. a Mac to Linux container).
Solution:
Add a .dockerignore, and inside add:
node_modules
This will cause an npm install to install the bindings for the docker environment, rather than your local machine environment.
If your terminal/command prompt says:
Node Sass could not find a binding
for your current environment:
OS X 64-bit with Node 0.10.x
and you have tried the following commands such as:
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm rebuild node-sass
& still NOTHING works..
Just run this in the terminal manually: node node_modules/node-sass/scripts/install.js
now run npm start or yarn start
Try to add suffix --force
npm rebuild node-sass --force
For my particular case none of the above answers worked. So what it worked:
rm -rf node_modules
rm -rf /tmp/*
rm -rf /root/.npm/node-sass
npm uninstall --save node-sass
npm cache clean --force
npm cache verify to check that nothing is left in the cache
npm install
Altough I haven't tried to reproduce the sequence it was a combination of the above that worked.
In addition you may also try:
npm install --save node-sass or npm install node-sass -g
npm rebuild node-sass
npm install bindings
I had the same problem
throw new Error(errors.missingBinary());

Error: Missing binding /path/to/project/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-x64-47/binding.node
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Linux 64-bit with Node.js 5.x
Found bindings for the following environments:

That was because I did npm install using a different nodejs version,
try deleting node_modules folder installing and starting
cd your_project
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm start or gulp or whatever
If you are using nvm do
nvm use stable // or your favorite version
// remove node_module directory
npm install
npm start or gulp or whatever
I had the same problem with Node v7.4.0 Current (Latest Features).
Did some reading here and downgraded Node to v6.9.4 LTS and after running npm rebuild node-sass it downloaded the binary and everything started working.
Downloading binary from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v3.13.1/win32-x64-48_binding.node
Download complete .] - :
Binary saved to D:\xxx\xxx-xxx\node_modules\node-sass\vendor\win32-x64-48\binding.node
Caching binary to C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\node-sass\3.13.1\win32-x64-48_binding.node`
I'm a Windows 8 user, recently updated Node to v8.11.1 and npm to v6.0.0 and faced similar issue. Nothing worked - npm install -g node-sass#latest or deleting the node-sass directory from the project node_modules/ - none of 'em worked for me.
The Laravel Mix was throwing an error to my browser console saying a missing node: win32-x64-57. I don't know whether it's because a slower internet connection or something, the node was missing during the update.
Hence some of the answers directed me to look at the Node-Sass releases, and I found the solution.
Step 1: Check your node-sass version using the command: npm view node-sass version (the {your version} in step 4)
Step 2: Get to Node-Sass Releases
Step 3: Get your release and find the missing node in the assets listed under every release, and download the file
Step 4: Get to your PC's C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\node-sass\{your version}\ and put the downloaded .node file inside the version folder
And you are done.
In my case the node-sass version was 4.9.0 and the missing node was win32-x64-57_binding.node, so I downloaded the .node file from 4.9.0 release and followed step 4.
For Visual Studio 2015/2017, Right Click on your package.json and Click on Restore Packages.
This will make sure that the npm from the Visual Studio Tools External Tools is run and the binding will be rebuild based on that.
I had the same issue. I couldn't find any proper working solution in here, so I found mine:
Inspired by #Rob-Scott solution and other pointing that we could have 2 versions of Node.js installed, I went to C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs and realized that I had a node.js version installed in addition to the VS default installation.
My solution was quite simple:
Go to Tools > Options > Projects & solutions > Web package management > External web tools
Click on add an entry (most left of the top-right block of buttons)
Enter C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs, validate by pressing enter
Bring it at the top of the list
Enjoy
Probably Node.js is not set well in the PATH variable, but this is my working very quick solution, my 2 cents :)
This happens when in your workstation you run an update of Node.js and you are using node-sass globally.
So you should uninstall node-sass globally
npm uninstall -g node-sass
And then you have to install it globally, again
npm install -g node-sass
The post dependencies for node-sass is not getting installed without the package.json inside node-sass
Running it manually solved for me
node node_modules/node-sass/scripts/install.js
credit: link
Run the following commands, it works fine for me.
npm install node-sass -g
npm rebuild node-sass
nvm use 10.16.3
node node_modules/node-sass/scripts/install.js
ng serve --poll=2000
This worked for me:
yarn add --force node-sass#4.14.1 or yarn add --force node-sass
This usually happens because the environment has changed since running npm install.
Running npm rebuild node-sass builds the binding for the current environment.
Create a new directory in node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-x64-46/ .
the download fil from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases
(linux-x64-59_binding.node) based upon your version.
paste it in node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-x64-46/ rename it to binding.node
I had this issue when upgrading from VS 2017 Professional to Enterprise
Close VS
Delete node_modules
Open VS
Right click package.json and select 'restore packages'
Delete node_modules folder.
Install dependencies again. (npm i)
None of the install/rebuild solutions resolved the issue for me (using gulp).
Here is how I resolved it:
1) Download the missing binding file from the repository.
2) Rename the file binding.node.
3) Create node_modules/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-11 (path from error message) directory if it doesn't exist.
4) Add the binding file to node_modules/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-11
Just refresh your npm cache and:
npm cache clean --force
npm install
It always works for me in the same case.
UPD: Your problem may also be by reason of absence of a global sasslib.
npm install -g sass
Open Visual Studio 2017
Go to Tools -> Options…
Go to Projects and Solutions -> Web Package Management
Move $(PATH) to the top of that list and close that window.
Restart Visual Studio.
This worked in my case, because my node version is 11.x
Probably you have a build with different node version than the current one. Try running these commands and it should fix the issue.
npm cache clean --force &&
rm -rf node_modules &&
rm -rf package-lock.json &&
npm i
In the past when I installed packages using npm(>=1.0) they would be installed locally, but not anymore.
My setup:
First I use nvm to install node.js.
My operating System:
alfred#alfred-laptop:~/node/so/6513101$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu<br>
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10"
My node version:
alfred#alfred-laptop:~/node/so/6513101$ node -v
v0.4.8
My npm version:
alfred#alfred-laptop:~/node/so/6513101$ npm -v
1.0.15
Installing random package
alfred#alfred-laptop:~/node/so/6513101$ npm install notifo
notifo#0.0.2 ../../../node_modules/notifo
In the past it would install into the same directory but it does not install in the same directory anymore. is my npm/node.js broken or am I missing something or does npm not anymore install local packages(inside same folder => ~/node/so/6513101/node_modules) which I thought was a cool feature because I could bundle all my dependencies so that other users did not have to install npm to use my code(I still believe users should install npm because it is a great product). The bundle command is gone so I can't use that? Could someone please explain to me what is going on?
npm walks up the folder tree until it finds a node_modules or a package.json and uses that as the root. What does npm root print out?
If you mkdir node_modules or create a package.json file, then it'll use the cwd.
EDIT: I won't see updates you post here. For better results, just post everything in the github issue, and let's do the support over there.
