Error installing laravel-mix on WSL

[YahzeeSkellington]

I'm unable to run npm install with Laravel Mix. The error shows a 404 trying to download from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.9.4/linux-x64-67_binding.node and visiting that link on the browser also shows a 404. I check on the releases page for node-sass and the list only goes up until linux-x64-64, not x64-67 like Laravel Mix requests.

I tried running the install inside Laravel and on its own and it's the same output:

> node-sass@4.9.4 install /mnt/d/Sites/blog/node_modules/node-sass
> node scripts/install.js

      try setting a proxy via HTTP_PROXY, e.g.

      export HTTP_PROXY=http://example.com:1234

or configure npm proxy via

      npm config set proxy http://example.com:8080

It is most likely node-sass issue

Same issue

[rossbearman]

node-sass@4.9.4 and below don't support Node 11. If you manually require the following in your package.json it should resolve the issue.

"node-sass": "^4.10.0",

See this node-sass PR for details.

We’re moving away from node-sass as part of the Mix 4 release. So that will fix this issue.
