Node Sass does not yet support your current environment: Windows 64-bit with Unsupported runtime (88)

Question

I have tried to install gulp-sass latest version with npm i gulp-sass --save-dev in the begining I got a lot of errors but later solved them. But whenever I try to run gulp I got this error:

Error: Node Sass does not yet support your current environment: Windows 64-bit with Unsupported runtime (88)

Answer 1

Thanks to jonrsharpe.

Worked for me:

1. install / downgrade node.js to a stable version (LTS) like 14.15.0
2. install the compatible node-sass version via npm install node-sass@4.14.0; you can find the list here, or even install gulp-sasswith npm i gulp-sass --save-dev.

direct link to list

Answer 2

None of the above worked for me. So, instead I uninstalled node-sass and installed just sass. No more errors!

npm uninstall node-sass

npm i sass

Answer 3

This command in the console worked for me:

npm rebuild node-sass

Answer 4

Warning: LibSass and Node Sass are deprecated. While they will continue to receive maintenance releases indefinitely, there are no plans to add additional features or compatibility with any new CSS or Sass features. Projects that still use it should move onto Dart Sass.

the node-sass package is deprecated.

Instead install sass instead like this:

yarn add sass -D
# or
npm i sass --save-dev

Answer 5

remove node-sass

npm remove node-sass

then install

npm i node-sass@npm:sass -D

Node sass project is deprecated. Don't use it anymore!

https://sass-lang.com/blog/libsass-is-deprecated

The new project uses Dart. https://sass-lang.com/dart-sass

Answer 6

Firstly uninstall

npm uninstall node-sass

then install

npm i sass

this will work definitely

Answer 7

I ran to the same problem and I found that the best solution is to use gulp-dart-sass. You won't need to downgrade your Node.js(I'm using it with Node version: v15.3.0 right now)

Simple replace gulp-sass to gulp-dart-sass

Answer 8

I encountered the same issue after updating my Node.js version from 14.15.5(LTS) to 15.8.0.
In order to resolve this issue I downgraded Node.js version back to 14.15.5(LTS).

I used chocolatey to downgrade NPM. If you don't have chocolatey installed in your system,
you can get Chocolatey from here.

Now to downgrade Node.js we have to do the following steps

1. Uninstall latest version of the Node.js
   For that you have to use this code.
   choco uninstall nodejs

2. To install the desired version of Node.js,
   choco install nodejs --version $VersionNumber

in my case,
choco uninstall nodejs
choco install nodejs --version 14.15.5

this solved my issue.

Answer 9

Worked for me

1. npm install with specific node version that you need

   This the version of node that I am using

   npm install -g npm@6.14.6 --target_arch=x64

2. Clean cache

   npm cache clean --force

   rm -rf /node_modules

3. Install node-sass

   npm install node-sass --save-dev --force

4. If you have errors and warnings try:

   npm fund

   npm audit fix

   npm install -g npm@6.14.6 --target_arch=x64

   npm start

Answer 10

I met the same issue, and here's how I was able to fix it:

Firstly, you have to know which node-sass version you are using in your project, then go upgrade or downgrade your current nodeJS version to the compatible version with your current node-sass version, you can know that from this link.

Ofc, stop the server, and close your IDE.

So, the best way to upgrade or downgrade the nodeJS version, has mentioned above in this answer, then remove the node_modules, and package-lock.json and install again.. You can do it as such:

npm cache clean --force

rm -rf /node_modules package-lock.json

npm install

npm audit fix

npm run <your_script_name>

Good Luck!

Answer 11

For me, the issue happened after I updated my node version to 16, I downgraded the node version to 14.17.6 and had to uninstall the node-sass version 6 and reinstall node-sass version 4.14 which is compactible with node 14+

npm uninstall node-sass
npm i node-sass@4.14

Answer 12

For me the only solution was to downgrade NodeJs from 16(my current version) to 10 version (it can be any version below probably), tried almost all that were advised here and on other websites and only this helped.

Answer 13

1. In my case I removed node-sass with npm remove node-sass

2. then I installed node-sass npm i node-sass@next

3. restarted server

• Hurray! everything worked fine *

Answer 14

Here are the steps I followed to make it work.

• brew uninstall node (Or uninstall with the package manager you used)
• brew install n
• sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/n
• n 14.15.0

Answer 15

For any1 having this problem with SPFx

If you have upgraded your node version, steps to upgrade your SPFx solution

1. Create a side clean SPFx project (Webpart or Extension (Extension is only with 2019+))

2. Save somewhere (just in case) the following files package.json, tsconfig.json, package-lock.json

3. Copy from your new project to your old project only 2 files package.json, tsconfig.json

4. Run gulp clean

5. Run npm install

6. Run gulp build ect.

Answer 16

I am late to the party but what I did is install nvm and add a small function in .bashrc to change node version as I need using an alias.

function switchNodeVersion()
{
  nvm use 14.6.0
  node-sass [options] <input.scss> [output.css]
  nvm use 16.13.0
}
alias swap=switchNodeVersion

Answer 17

Try to install nvm on your machine to switch between various node versions to suit the projects that are using downgraded versions of node.

Then using this capability you can essentially switch between the node versions on your machine.

Here is a great guideline for achieving this. Setting Up NVM

Another option is to switch between the different node versions you have installed by adding the specific node version you want your project to use:

package.json

{
  "name": "myproject",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "engines": {
    "node": "16.x"
  },
  "dependencies": {....

Then once your node versioning issue is corrected, you can install node-sass..but keep in mind some node-sass versions will not be compatible with deprecated versions of node and vice versa.

But in general, if you want to avoid version issues with your dependencies, use docker and dockerize your projects into containers. It will save you a lot of time.

Answer 18

in my case it was the node version witch had to be 14 and i was at 16

Answer 19

I was also having the same issue (WINDOW) -Fixed for me after following the below steps.

1. Open the Gitbash terminal.
2. source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
3. curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
4. command -v nvm

Fixed issue for me, I could see nvm installed :)

Answer 20

node-sass-middleware is deprecated. In place of this install sass-middleware.

npm uninstall node-sass-middleware

npm install sass-middleware

const sassMiddleware = require('sass-middleware');

const path = require('path');

const sassMiddlewareOptions = {
  src: path.join(__dirname, 'sass'),
  dest: path.join(__dirname, 'public/stylesheets'),
  debug: true,
  outputStyle: 'compressed'
};


app.use(sassMiddleware(sassMiddlewareOptions));

Now you are good to go.
