Try reinstalling `node-sass` on node 0.12?

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

And then ran:

$ sudo npm install

When I typed gulp serve then got this error:

Using gulpfile ~/web-starter-kit/gulpfile.js Starting 'styles'... 'styles' errored after 93 ms 
Error: `libsass` bindings not found. Try reinstalling `node-sass`? at getBinding

I reinstalled node and gulp but this doesn't help.

What should I do next?

Solution 1:

If your node version is 4 and you are using gulp-sass, then try

npm uninstall --save-dev gulp-sass

npm install --save-dev gulp-sass@2

Solution 2:

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.

Solution 3:

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.

Solution 4:

npm rebuild node-sass was giving me errors (Ubuntu) and npm install gulp-sass didn't make the error go away.

Saw a solution on GitHub which worked for me:

npm uninstall --save-dev gulp-sass

npm install --save-dev gulp-sass
