How to fix Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module and Cannot find module '../build/Release/sharp.node' in expo

Question

I tried to install expo after I executed the command exp start but I got:

Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

Cannot find module '../build/Release/sharp.node'.

How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

I had the same problem and this single line command did the trick.

npm rebuild --verbose sharp 

Consult the installation documentation at Common problems.

Answer 2

I am not using expo but faced this issue in react native. All I did is "deleted node_modules/sharp" folder. run npm install. fixed the issue.
