Try reinstalling `node-sass` on node 0.12?

Question

I would like to use google web starter kit. I installed node.js v0.12.0, node-sass & gulp.

And then ran:

$ sudo npm ins         


        

Answer 1

I found this useful command:

npm rebuild node-sass

From the rebuild documentation:

This is useful when you install a new version of node (or switch node versions), and must recompile all your C++ addons with the new node.js binary.

Answer 2

I ran into this error using node 0.12.0 and it was fixed by deleting the existing /node_modules directory and running npm update.

Answer 3

You need to use the right version. Try:

nvm use 0.12

Answer 4

My issue was that I was on a machine with node version 0.12.2, but that had an old 1.x.x version of npm. Be sure to update your version of npm: sudo npm install -g npm Once that is done, remove any existing node-sass and reinstall it via npm.

Answer 5

I had the same issue as @Kos had, only for some reason I had to modify the gulp-sass package from the old package.json file I had. It then installed the dependencies currently and now it finally works!

Answer 6

This answer is a bit orthogonal to the the OP, but --

libsass bindings don't install properly with the node-sass wrapper on Node v4.0.0. I got the same error message as in the question (Error: 'libsass' bindings not found. Try reinstalling 'node-sass') but I ended up uninstalling Node v4.0.0 and installing v0.12.7 using nvm, via this script:

and now libsass and node-sass are behaving properly.
