laravel-elixir which has dependency on [email protected] has issue with alpine linux

This is my first application with laravel framework. And I also new to node js and npm.

alpine linux - Linux 4.9.13-moby

node v6.7.0

npm v3.10.3

laravel - 5.3

[email protected] --> [email protected]

I am building laravel web app in docker. I also want to use gulpfile.

npm install --only=dev fails because [email protected] which I guess is I a dependency for laravel-elixir.

It is mentioned in various forums that node-sass has issues with alpine linux before node-sass@4.

This installation is successful - npm install [email protected]

But laravel-elixir is again trying to install [email protected] as its dependency , which results in failing as [email protected] and laravel-elixir

Question

1. Is there any way to change the dependency for laravel-elixir from [email protected] to node-sass@4.* . If yes, how ? And should I update the dependency.

2. What should be the correct to way to solve this issue?
