Cannot install sharp on ARM64 Odroid Ubuntu

See original GitHub issue

Hi ,

I’ve been trying to install sharp on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial installed on an Odroid but am not able to get the dependency libvips installed on it. Which obviously is causing installation of sharp to fail.

I’m running node v7.9.x and npm is v4.2.0.

Here is the output when I try to install sharp “sudo npm install sharp”

sharp@0.17.3 install /home/pankaj/node_modules/sharp node-gyp rebuild

I followed the steps

Added repository: sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:lovell/trusty-backport-vips gpg: keyring /tmp/tmp33esnaad/secring.gpg' created gpg: keyring /tmp/tmp33esnaad/pubring.gpg’ created gpg: requesting key 21794330 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: /tmp/tmp33esnaad/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created gpg: key 21794330: public key “Launchpad PPA for Lovell Fuller” imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1) OK

then did - sudo apt-get update Here I get the following error in output:

I’ve spent hours searching and trying different things but none have worked. Please advice how to fix this. Thanks in advance!

Great, thanks for confirming. 64-bit ARM (ARMv8) support will be fixed properly in the v0.18.0 release. (I’m also expanding the ARM packaging tests to help prevent further regression.)

@Sing-Li Pre-compiled binaries for libvips and its dependencies are provided for ARMv7-A.

https://github.com/lovell/sharp-libvips/blob/master/linux-armv7/Dockerfile#L21

Is npm install being run on the same device as used at runtime?

The sharp.node binary will still need to be compiled, either on the device it will be used at runtime or cross-compiled to match.

If the problem persists, please open a new issue with the result of running npm install sharp on the device used at runtime.
