Node-sass does not run on npm-start V6.0.0


I have been trying to install node-sass using

npm i node-sass

but I am getting the following error whenever I try npm start:

Node Sass version 6.0.0 is incompatible with ^4.0.0 || ^5.0.0.

I even tried downgrading to V5.0.0 or V4.14 for node-sass but it just won't install! It would get stuck at the end, and when I would force exit using ctrl+c, it outputs a huge log (please let me know if I can post it here).

Any help would be appreciated


Solution

  • I faced the same issue, I needed to check my node version by running node -v and compare to the supported node-sass version

    Then I uninstall the node-sass with npm uninstall node-sass (I uninstall the @types/node-sass as well, check if you have devDependencies containing a reference to node-sass and remove it) and then reinstall again npm i node-sass@4.14 it was 4.14 in my case because I have NodeJS v14.16.1 installed, I runned npm i to rebuild all the packages I had and it fixed my problem.
