How to install numjs

Question

I want to npm install numjs but after 6 hours searching for a solution I have the same problem, an error at the step where it needs to install sharp.

I tried to uninstall everything and reinstall but it still don't want to it. I tried a thousand of solutions that I already forgot but I don't success to do it. What can I try next?

The console output :

You need to update sharp to at least 0.22.1 in order for it to work. This has already been updated inside numjs on Apr 30, 2020 -- see this commit but this is not the version available in npm (npm still serves sharp 0.20.3 i.e. Jun 13 2018 version of the package.json, as the CI fails with newer sharp.

Since it's there in the master (main) branch, you can simply pull it from github like:

npm install https://github.com/nicolaspanel/numjs
yarn add https://github.com/nicolaspanel/numjs
