Error: Failed to install dependency (Sharp)

[bronze]

Started having trouble with my version, started to start from scratch with gridsome create my-website https://github.com/drehimself/gridsome-portfolio-starter.git

Gridsome throws this error:

Error: Failed to install dependencies with yarn. Please enter g`ridsome-portfolio-starter2 directory and install dependencies with yarn or npm manually. Then run gridsome develop to start local development.

    Exit code 1

Then, doing a yarn install i get:

Tried the simple gridsome create with no problems, and even another starter.
Tried removing dependencies from package.json and re-running yarn but that didn't do the trick. (Also, i am unsure if it would... the mechanics of package management are a bit fuzzy to me, honestly)

Anyone else have/had this occur before?

➜ gridsome --version
@gridsome/cli v0.3.1
gridsome v0.7.9

➜ yarn --version
1.19.1

➜ node --version
v13.1.0

[flashspys]

Go into the package.json and push gridsome to at least version 0.7.0. Then reinstall with yarn

[bronze]

i have "gridsome": "^0.7.9", as a dependency.
tried getting id of it all and leaving just gridsome and still threw me the error. dont know where it comes from...

[reqresnext]

Yeah, I have the same error on my office computer. When I installed gridsome on my home computer with pretty fresh nodejs installation - it worked without errors. Still don't know how to fix it

[owlnai]

FYI, I created a PR to fix this. In the meantime, you can go ahead and change the package.json file from "gridsome": "^0.7.9", to "gridsome": "^0.7.12",. It was fixed on Gridsome's end some time ago, so updating the version should do it.

@unai01's solution above solved for me! (macOS Catalina 0.15.1 node v13.5.0)
