Just do npm update and then npm install gulp-sass --save-dev in your root folder, and then when you run you shouldn't have any issues.

Did you check this question?

May be possible solution is:

rm -rf node_modules/
npm install

Edit your package.json. Change:

"gulp-sass": "^2.3.2"

to

"gulp-sass": "3.0.0"

Delete the node_modules folder and run npm install again.

I had the same problem, and I resolve doing this npm update. But I receive the message about permission, so I run:

sudo chwon -R myuser /home/myUserFolder/.config

This set permissions for my user run npm comands like administrator. Then I run this again:

npm update 

and this:

npm install gulp-sass

Then my problem with this was solved.

Try this:

npm install -g gulp-sass

or

npm install --save gulp-sass

I had the same problem on my new Windows 10 machine. I had to intall the Windows build tools with npm install -g windows-build-tools. (https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejs-guidelines/blob/master/windows-environment.md#environment-setup-and-configuration)

i was also facing the same issue, The possible solution is to install the gulp-sass module, but if you will run the below command npm install -g gulp-sass or npm install --save gulp-sass, This is not going to be updated on node-sass project's end.

This version of node-sass is missing (returns a 404) and google web-starter-kit v0.6.5 has depended on it for a long time, since Dec 2016. So, it has been working for a long time and must have just disappeared.

Downloading binary from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v3.13.1/win32-x64-57_binding.node Cannot download "https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v3.13.1/win32-x64-57_binding.node";:

HTTP error 404 Not Found

The only workaround is to upgrade node-sass: npm i gulp-sass@latest --save-dev to fix the issue.

I had same error on Ubuntu 18.04

Delete your node_modules folder and run

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true

I had this issue for days looking for answers. My error log was similar to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46173180/npm-just-wont-install-node-sass The only problem was the node version. Maybe it can help some of you.

I downgraded my Node.js from 9.3.0 to 6.12.2 and run:

npm update

In the root folder where package.json is located, run npm outdated. You'll get outdated packages returned with some details. In those details, you'll see the current version number of the outdated package.

After then, open the package.json file and manually change the version number of the corresponding package.

Then delete the node_modules folder and run npm install. It should solve this issue.

Make sure python is installed on your machine, Python is required for node-sass.

I ran : npm i gulp-sass@latest --save-dev

That did the magic for me

Ive faced the same troubles with gulp-sass in my VSCode environment. Also, I was observing a lot of fails during npm installing and I could not start gulp (as outcome). The way how I fixed it:

• delete packages
• npm i
• npm i gulp-sass --save-dev

Now it works.

Those who are getting this error, please downgrade the Node.js you are using.

• Step 1 :

  Uninstall the one you are using and install the version you prefer. I installed v6.12.3. My previous Node.js version was v9.4.0.

• Step 2 :

  Download Node.js.

Hope this will work.

I worked with Yarn and I got the same issue and I solve it doing this:

delete node_modules
yarn install
yarn upgrade

yarn install gulp-sass --save-dev

Try this to fix the error:

1. Delete node_modules directory.
2. Run npm i gulp-sass@latest --save-dev
