I have…

$ node -v
v11.4.0
$ node-gyp -v
v3.8.0
$ yarn -v
1.12.3
$npm -v
6.4.1

I’m trying to install with yarn and/or npm: $ yarn add sharp

What can i do?

Hello, if you weren’t aware the nan dependency added support for Node 11 a couple of days ago in https://github.com/nodejs/nan/pull/830 so the next version of sharp can now support this also.

Please do not describe the work of open source maintainers as “terrible” when requesting unpaid help from them in the future.

@lovell Thanks for the solution. We all love open source.
