Answer 1

Try:

npm install --global windows-build-tools

Then, install gatsby-plugin-sharp again:

   npm i gatsby-plugin-sharp

Answer 2

On my machine the proposed solution didnot work. I tried many different approaches for the last couple of days. The only one that got the plugin installed is the following (Windows):

1. Check if the ignore-scripts is not set to false globally:

    npm config set ignore-scripts true

2. Remove the old sharp folder from node_modules

3. Re install it as:

    npm install sharp --unsafe-perm

4. If the above doesnt work try this

   npm rebuild --verbose sharp
