libvps issue in electron app #3250
Description
Possible install-time or require-time problem
- I have read the documentation relating to installation.
- I have ensured that the architecture and platform of Node.js used for
npm installis the same as the architecture and platform of Node.js used at runtime.
Are you using the latest version of sharp?
- I am using the latest version of
sharpas reported bynpm view sharp dist-tags.latest.
If you cannot confirm this, please upgrade to the latest version and try again before opening an issue.
If you are using another package which depends on a version of sharp that is not the latest, please open an issue against that package instead.
Is this a problem with filesystem permissions?
If you are using npm v6 or earlier and installing as a root or sudo user, have you tried with the npm install --unsafe-perm flag?
If you are using npm v7 or later, does the user running npm install own the directory it is run in?
If you are using the ignore-scripts feature of npm, have you tried with the npm install --ignore-scripts=false flag?
What is the complete output of running npm install --verbose --foreground-scripts sharp in an empty directory?
Details
What is the output of running npx envinfo --binaries --system --npmPackages=sharp --npmGlobalPackages=sharp?
I sadly can't test this because I don't have an M1 mac so I have to rely on user reports. When building the app in GitHub CI on a non M1 system, generating a universal build like this the user reports the following error on launch:

Possible solutions:
- Install with verbose logging and look for errors: "npm install --ignore-scripts=false --foreground-scripts --verbose sharp"
- Install for the current darwin-arm64v8 runtime: "npm install --platform=darwin --arch=arm64v8 sharp"
- Consult the installation documentation: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install
