Cannot find module 'node-sass' - Fresh laravel 5.4 install

See original GitHub issue

I just created a fresh Laravel 5.4 project using Laravel Homestead on a Windows machine. I ran npm install successfully, but am running into issues with npm run dev. Here is my output:

It should install node-sass for you automatically, but if it failed for some reason, do:

npm install node-sass

To other people with similar issues, maybe this can help:

I had an issue when running npm install node-sass

So I ran npm install node-sass --no-bin-links and had no issues. Then I was able to run npm run dev with no issues.

Thanks for the help Jeffrey!
