Install fails with Request Timed Out Error.

[krishna-santosh]

Possible install-time or require-time problem

• I have read the documentation relating to installation.
• I have ensured that the architecture and platform of Node.js used for npm install is the same as the architecture and platform of Node.js used at runtime.

Are you using the latest version of sharp?

• I am using the latest version of sharp as reported by npm view sharp dist-tags.latest.

If you cannot confirm this, please upgrade to the latest version and try again before opening an issue.

If you are using another package which depends on a version of sharp that is not the latest, please open an issue against that package instead.

Is this a problem with filesystem permissions?

If you are using npm v6 or earlier and installing as a root or sudo user, have you tried with the npm install --unsafe-perm flag?

If you are using npm v7 or later, does the user running npm install own the directory it is run in?

If you are using the ignore-scripts feature of npm, have you tried with the npm install --ignore-scripts=false flag?

What is the complete output of running npm install --verbose --foreground-scripts sharp in an empty directory?

sharp: Downloading https://github.com/lovell/sharp-libvips/releases/download/v8.14.4/libvips-8.14.4-linux-x64.tar.br
sharp: Installation error: Request timed out

It looks like there was a (temporary?) networking problem between the machine this was run on and GitHub.

[krishna-santosh]

This happens every time I install sharp (checked it again just now). When I download that file (libvips-8.14.4-linux-x64.tar.br) via browser it downloads fine.

[krishna-santosh]

@lovell I also tried using the Chinese Mirror as mentioned in the installation docs

@estebancastro You have an unrelated issue - you are using v0.28.x that predates ARM64 on macOS - please upgrade. If you are still having problems please open a new installation issue.

Prebuilt sharp and libvips binaries have been provided for macOS on ARM64 since sharp v0.29.0.

https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install#apple-m1

[lovell]

@estebancastro If you are still having problems please open a new installation issue. https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/new?labels=installation&template=installation.md

[lovell]

The custom logic to download prebuilt binaries will be removed as part of #3750 and with it will disappear these kind of networking-related errors (or at least responsibility for them will shift to the package manager).

I've solved the issue by turning off VPN

Please upgrade to v0.33.0 and this entire class of problem will go away.

[Mahmud-Aminu]

I solve this issue by installing windows-build-tools packages turn out sharp require windows-build-tools

[lovell]

@Mahmud-Aminu sharp does not require windows-build-tools - please ensure you're using the latest version and if you still require help, please open a new installation issue.
