According to the previous issue, it is not supported, but it is still unclear what is the reason.

Due to political reasons between mainland China and the United States, mainland China has basically fully promoted the deployment of CPUs using the ARM64 architecture, especially at the national level.

If you see this question and answer, can you give us the reasons for not doing ARM64 support? In addition, if we have to run the business under ARM64, is there any solution for relying on node-sass? thanks.

If you install the C++ compiler (like g++) and the libraries, it should build from source and work.

Excuse me, can you be more specific? Do you mean that the arm64 environment is now supported?

[saper]

The error you are seeing is caused by the fact that the machine you are installing node-sass on does not have C++ development environment installed.

node-sass team does not provide pre-built binary releases for arm64 and other platforms (check out the https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/tag/v8.0.0 release for example).

However, if you install C++ compiler you can build the binary extension file yourself, and distribute it to your deployments separately.
