node_modules/sharp makes problems

Thanks for the great starter!

Two weeks ago it was working fine. But today I newly installed your starter, I was unable to run it on local server. Perhaps it’s not your starter’s fault, maybe it’s the sharp module.

The command I executed:

gatsby new gatsby-starter-sas-marketing https ://github.com/keegn/gatsby-starter-saas- marketing

cd gatsby-starter-saas-marketing

gatsby develop

Description of the error output:

Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

- Remove the "node_modules/sharp" directory, run "npm install" and look for errors
- Consult the installation documentation at https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/en/stable/install/

I’ve solved it!

Here are the steps:

1. Delete node_modules folder
2. Clear npm cache npm cache clean --force
3. Re-install packages by running `npm install’
4. Try again to run gatsby develop on your terminal/cmd.

Thanks @newt0. I’ll try to reproduce this and will update accordingly.
