error pngquant-bin with npm install

Question

I installing npm and all works until this error, I am trying to discover what its causing this problem but no success. After the installation I tried to run 'npm run dev' but with errors too. I guess because the problem with the npm install at all. I tried to install the module pngquant-bin but no success too.

If you know a way or you face this same problem already, please help me. I see the other questions about it but with any responses. Please.

Pngquant require vcruntime140.dll. Download and install 64bit and 32bit Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=48145

The error states make sure that libpng-dev is installed. That means that you are probably missing that package.

On Debian/Ubuntu you can fix it with sudo apt install libpng-dev. That worked for me.

It seems you are trying to use the precompiled binary pngquant-bin and it fails because of incompatible libraries used in the OS, so two ways to use them:

Install system-wide pngquant package apart the node package
If you are using an old OS try upgrade the libraries then install the node package again
In case you have the newest OS, try upgrade the node package to the newest version too.
