Unable to use node-sass with Windows 64-bit with Node.js 10.x?

Question

I'm using Node.js 10 which is the recommended version and just trying to run a simple gulp task to compile some SCSS files. However, I am getting the following error.

Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Windows 64-bit with Node.js 10.x Found bindings for the following environments: - Windows 64-bit with Node.js 8.x

Am I supposed to uninstall v10 and install an older version of Node.Js?

Answer 1

I think this can solve you problem.

By going into project folder till the location of node-sass folder and then execute:

npm rebuild node-sass --force

Alternative is

Delete node-saas and Do

npm install

Answer 2

Uninstall node and use Node.js version manager (nvm) for Windows to install the latest NodeJs version.

Delete node_modules and rebuild with npm install.
