Description

There seem to be issues around sharp - problems installing it either with permissions (it tried to access ~/.npm/_libvips) or because when installed something else tried to access a file that doesnt exist vips/vips8

My solution was to upgrade node, npm and yarn - I'm not sure which if any were needed, change the ownership of ~/.npm/_libvips to myself and reinstall with yarn.. That worked (after multiple other things failed). But I'm not sure it was a universal solution.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the sharp installation failure and inspect the reported ~/.npm/_libvips permissions and missing vips/vips8 path; done means installation completes without either error under the affected setup.
