NPM install [email protected]

Hello Guys,

For some reason everytime I do an NPM install it gets stuck on installing the node-sass. The project doesn't even use node-sass. This is the error.

[email protected] install C:\development\node_modules\gulp-sass\node_modules\node-sass
> node scripts/install.js

Downloading binary from https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node-sass/v3.13.1/win32-x64-57_binding.node
Cannot download "https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node-sass/v3.13.1/win32-x64-57_binding.node":

or configure npm proxy via

Any way to stop it from trying to install this?

Thanks in advance.

x64-57 doesn't exist for 3.13.1. What are the dependencies in your package.json file? Something must depend on node-sass.

You could setting up the latest version of node-sass as a dev dependency and see if that satisfies the dependency: npm i node-sass@latest --save-dev

I fixed the issue. After trying everything I got it to work. I ended up re cloneing the project from the repo and downgrading the Node and NPM version to an older one

node - v6.10.2 npm - 3.10.10

I then ran NPM install and composer install.

In my case, that worked because the application that I'm working on is based on Laravel 5.2 and I guess the Node version I had was to updated I guess.
