Answer 1

the problem is the incompatibility between OS and node js, so the solution is just run the command npm rebuild node-sass.

Just run npm rebuild node-sass from within your Host computer. If you have node installed on your computer, it will rebuild node-sass, detect whatever environment your Host computer is, and do something specific to that node-sass build.

Then run gulp command, hope it will work.

Answer 2

If you haven't figured it out by now, you can run

npm install node-sass --no-bin-links

from within the virtual machine and then gulp should work.
