[Need help] Error when running `npm i`

[shanlipro]

as ^^, seems I didn't get to start a node locally, it's said that Build failed with error code: 1 on the debugging info printed in the terminal, I suspect something wrong with the path or are there any dependencies or version conflicts?

see details in pastein: https://pastebin.com/1xv5fzHv

thanks, Bonnie, that helps. Actually shall we upgrade the node-sass version in the repository instead? is it preferred?

[bonniesimon]

Glad it worked.
About upgrading node-sass, I'm not sure of that. Maybe it would be better to upgrade the node-sass. But I think there are some side effects in doing that. Again, I'm not entirely sure.
