Node Sass couldn't find a binding for your current environment
node.jsNpmnode.js Problem Overview
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?

How to solve my problem
By going into project folder and then execute:
npm rebuild node-sass
Solution 2 - node.js
For those that are using Visual Studio:
Currently working for VS 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 (via below and/or replies from this post)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31301582/task-runner-explorer-cant-load-tasks/31444245
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.
Solution 3 - node.js
**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 undernode_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
Solution 4 - node.js
Worked for me:
Just delete the node-sass folder and run npm install
.
Solution 5 - node.js
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
.

Solution 6 - node.js
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.
Solution 7 - node.js
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.
Solution 8 - node.js
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
Solution 9 - node.js
*** 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.
Solution 10 - node.js
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.
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.
If issue is still not fixed, check node-sass supported environment's list:- https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/
Solution 11 - node.js
Try to add suffix --force
npm rebuild node-sass --force
Solution 12 - node.js
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 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.

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 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
Solution 16 - node.js
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.
Solution 17 - node.js
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.
Solution 18 - node.js
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 pressingenter
- 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 :)
Solution 19 - node.js
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

Solution 21 - node.js
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
Solution 22 - node.js
This worked for me:
yarn add --force [email protected]
or yarn add --force node-sass
Solution 23 - node.js
This usually happens because the environment has changed since running npm install
.
Running npm rebuild node-sass
builds the binding for the current environment.
Solution 24 - node.js
- 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
Solution 25 - node.js
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'
Solution 26 - node.js
- Delete node_modules folder.
- Install dependencies again. (npm i)
Solution 27 - node.js
None of the install/rebuild solutions resolved the issue for me (using gulp).
Here is how I resolved it:
-
Download the missing binding file from the repository.
-
Rename the file
binding.node
. -
Create
node_modules/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-11
(path from error message) directory if it doesn't exist. -
Add the binding file to
node_modules/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-11
Solution 28 - node.js
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
Solution 29 - node.js
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
Solution 30 - node.js
Just run the comment thats it.
npm rebuild node-sass
enjoy your coding...
Solution 31 - node.js
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
Solution 32 - node.js
A similar error I encountered with Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition while having created an AspNetCore app was:
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
This usually happens because your environment has changed since running `npm install`.
Run `npm rebuild node-sass` to build the binding for your current environment.
at module.exports ([..]\node_modules\node-sass\lib\binding.js:15:13)
at Object.<anonymous> ([..]\node_modules\node-sass\lib\index.js:14:35)
at Module._compile (module.js:397:26)
at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:404:10)

at require (internal/module.js:12:17)
at Object.<anonymous> ([..]\node_modules\gulp-sass\index.js:187:21)
at Module._compile (module.js:397:26)
You can see the from the error above that the cause was from a version mismatch on the bindings for nodejs.
> 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
The solution I found was to
- Install the nodejs windows version,
- Add path for node js (C:\Program Files\nodejs) in External Web Tools (see Rob Scott's answer),
- Move nodejs path above $(PATH).
Solution 33 - node.js
This worked for me
Deleting node_modules
and then restoring packages from IDE and then npm rebuild node-sass
Solution 34 - node.js
node-sass runs an install script to download the required binary. If there are no environment variables, .npmrc variables or process arguments set then the binary is determined by using the current process platform, architecture and Node ABI version. Therefore, if you run node install in one application and then try to run node-sass in an application with a different platform/architecture/ABI, the binary won't have been downloaded. The solution is to manually download the binary or to fix the binary version using an environment variable (SASS_BINARY_NAME) or a .npmrc variable (sass_binary_name)
You can see the logic for this in the getBinaryPath function in node-sass\lib\extensions.js
Solution 35 - node.js
I had to first choose the new default node version nvm use ***
or nvm install ***
and then remove all in node_modules in the project and npm i
again.
Solution 36 - node.js
Just before removing your node_modules or clean your cache, which cost you time, try running
npm rebuild node-sass --force
in your project folder. Like mine, chance is high that your problem gets solved. In case it was not successful try the followings:
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm rebuild node-sass
npm start
Solution 37 - node.js
I just run npm rebuild instead of npm rebuild node-sass and issue gone.. I don't know what is the magic behind though.
Solution 38 - node.js
Please also remember to rename the xxx.node file ( in my case win32-x64-51) to binding.node and paste in the xxx folder ( in my case win32-x64-51),
Solution 39 - node.js
I tried all the above, nothing worked, I was trying to match the node version to the node-sass version when I decided to go to the official node.js website, download the latest node version(currently v14 and I was on v12) and install it. This fixed my issue at last! It's possible that your node-sass version is ahead of your node.js version.
Solution 40 - node.js
I did all these in Linux Mint:
- Remove
node_modules
- Ran
npm install
- Ran
npm rebuild node-sass
But it didn't fix the issue and still getting the error about node-sass.
I tried running again the command for rebuilding node-sass with sudo i.e. sudo npm rebuild node-sass
and it worked finally!
Solution 41 - node.js
Check your system: Does your system has 2 different Node.js
installation?
If you install node from nodejs, the default installation directory is
C:\Program Files\nodejs
I had the node version 6.xx installed here.
Check your VS External web tools directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Web\External
I had the node version 5.xx installed there.
One work around is :
-
Make backup of
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Web\External
directory. -
Copy
C:\Program Files\nodejs
directory content and -
paste into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Web\External
Directory. -
Delete
node_modules
directory from your solution. -
Re run the project. If you get error message re run the project second time.
If that does not work
- Delete
node_modules
directory from your solution.
NOTE: $ is the command prompt
$ npm install
…
$ npm run build:dev
Rerun the project.
Solution 42 - node.js
For people that switched to nvm from system node, if you haven't removed the ~/.npm
and ~/.node-gyp
folder this problem can arise since perhaps the node version within ~/.node-gyp
could be different.
In any case those folders should be removed.
Solution 43 - node.js
Answer by @core114 suggesting Uninstalling & installing sass
package again works fine for manual process but for automated deployment/CI/CD you need more generic approach. What worked for me is for Continuos deployment of different environment is :
-
removing old
node_modules
usingrimraf
before deploymentrimraf node_modules
-
Updating
sass
package in npmpackage.json
& committing to source control.
For next deployment it will automatically refresh sass for all environment.

For me it was the maven-war-plugin that applied filters to the files and corrupted the woff files.

I have tried all methods I've found.
I have noticed some strange behavior of that folder. When I was trying to "cd" to 'node_sass' folder from VS terminal, it told that "Folder was not found", but was seen in Finder.
chmod from VS terminal haven't find folder even with 'sudo' command.
I have chmod-ed from native MacOs terminal and just after have rebuild with node.

This is something that may not happen to anyone else, but in my case, this error appeared when I decided to restart my project (to follow a different vue.js tutorial).
The steps that created my problem was:
# move my existing project
mv project-name project-name-old
# create a new project
vue create project-name
# run server
npm run server
The problem was that my previous server was still running on a different terminal tab. On localhost:8080, the page that was still showing was the old project.
All I had to do was shut down the old server in the terminal and execute "npm run serve" again (or view localhost:8081).
Just in case this confounds someone else for half an hour, or for laughs and giggles.

Windows 10 This was a fun one for me... In order to resolve it I had to do all of the following.. 1.) Apparently node-sass isn't supported by some of the more recent versions of Node.js so I had to Uninstall Node-v 12.14.1, and delete the nodejs directory in C:/Program Files. 2.) Reinstall a earlier version of Node (for me 10.16.2 worked). NOTE: I had initially downloaded the x86 version so if your System is x64 download the x64 verison... 3.) From here I had to delete my entire project and re-clone it. After this things ran fine.

Further to Abdelsalam Megahed's brief answer, which contained most of the solution... (i.e. view his answer and do that first)
After following the four short steps Abdelsalam suggested, I ran npm run dev
and received the following message:
Failed to load C:\path\tsconfig.json: Missing baseUrl in compilerOptions
The final step was to edit the tsconfig.json file and add "baseURL": ".",
, under "compilerOptions":
, like this:
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
etc etc etc
The problem was resolved at this point.
Note: It may be necessary to hard-reset CtrlF5 the page to see the change (even with nodemon).

If you got to the end of this thread, and things are still not working. It may be silly, but try verifying if you have any of these files in your folder:
- .node-version
- .nvmrc
They are the culprit of why things are not working for you. Update the files with the node version, and then re-run the procedure others provided in this thread. It will work. ;)

I was getting this error when trying to use node-sass in docker on MacOS and none of the solutions here worked.
The error happened because I did an npm install
before trying to build the docker image. The npm install
was correctly pulling the MacOS version of node-sass into my node_modules and I was then copying the node_modules to my docker image running Linux. This fails because it can't run the MacOS version of node-sass on Linux.
In my case the solution was adding this to my makefile after the npm install
step:
docker-compose run --rm --entrypoint "bash -c" mydockerimage "npm rebuild node-sass"
