Cannot find module ‘…/build/Release/sharp-linux-x64.node’

Eventyret · June 27, 2023, 6:29pm

Just like i said visit the link if you are on windows and install the build tools.
Build tools is part of Node (as it suggests to install it when you install node for the first time)
But if that checkbox is not set you need to manually install it.
Once done restart it.
You also then need to remove node_modules and then yarn install or npm install again after it has been added.

Without build tools, node-gyp which is part of node will not install which is a requirement for sharp. As it builds this on the host machine.

Different OS has different build tools so without knowing what system you are using I can’t elaborate any more.

it’s problem occurs on my hosting provider environment.
problem with linux server like here

i tried as comments suggest delete cache and node_modules. but problem remains.

@demeshko.egor were you able to fix your issue?

burtware · June 26, 2024, 11:48am

I am facing security vulnerabilities in Sharp for my companies internal scanning - how do you propose to resolve this ?

Hello, im having same issue on windows and I’ve downloaded the build tools, but I don’t know the specific package on the build tools to install to solve the problem. I installed the “Desktop development with C++” package but the issue still persists. Can you be of any help?
