Hello, if you're able to use Node 10 then you'll get pre-compiled binaries.

If you wish to compile from source, please see the dependencies listed at http://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/en/stable/install/#building-from-source e.g. Python 2.7.

I was getting similar errors. I had been using Node v12. I downgraded to the LTS Node v10 and that fixed the issue.
