Fixing npm rebuild node-sass
Just one of many possible errors
1 min readJul 24, 2019
I upgraded my node to 10.x.x, and npm rebuild node-sass
would fail with invalid syntax
for python3.
After scouring forums via google search, I learnt that the compilation process actually requires python2, which comes by default on all Macs. So, why is it seeing python3 first?
Apparently, npm has global settings config, and I had set its python
key to python3, a while back.
So, npm config set python /usr/bin/python
fixed it for me.
Back to work!
