Error after upgrading to v1.13.1

FrankM

Hello, i got this error

1. Updating package.json file with defaults...  OK

2. Bringing base dependencies up to date...  started

> [email protected] install /home/user/forum/nodebb/node_modules/sharp
> (node install/libvips && node install/dll-copy && prebuild-install) || (node-gyp rebuild && node install/dll-copy)

info sharp Using cached /home/user/.npm/_libvips/libvips-8.8.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
    throw err;
    ^

What can i do to fix this?

Hm, odd... how much memory do you have in your server? Could be it's running out of memory.

Perhaps try moving node_modules/ to a different folder, then running npm i --production again.

After

apt install make
apt install g++

it works.

Looks like sharp need to build some files!?!?!??

Why?? First time i need this, i think...

It depends on your platform... sharp usually downloads its dependencies, but on unsupported platforms it will need to build its own local copy.

Perhaps the new version hasn't been updated with downloadable binaries yet
