Does forcing the platform to be Linux rather than Android help?

npm install --platform=linux sharp

Also you can try to install ubuntu 20 and install v packages

1. Go to termux and run this command “apt upgrade”
2. install the application on android from the play store ‘Andronix’ 3 copy the command to install the termux operating system from this application 4 wait for installation If something did not work out for you, you can find a video on how to do it
