Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

libvips-cpp.so.42: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Possible solutions:
- Install with the --verbose flag and look for errors: "npm install --ignore-scripts=false --verbose sharp"
- Install for the current linux-x64 runtime: "npm install --platform=linux --arch=x64 sharp"
- Consult the installation documentation: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install

I've tried installing sharp with the commands shown in the error to no avail, not sure why this is happening

[GiovanH]

This even happens when you run the development version with make test?

make test loads fine after removing the previous builds but I'm still getting the error after make publish

[GiovanH]

What logging output do you get with the commands npm install --ignore-scripts=false --verbose sharp and npm install --platform=linux --arch=x64 sharp?

Concerning that this is happening even with the appimage.

@floorpills See if this works: https://github.com/Bambosh/unofficial-homestuck-collection/releases/download/2.0.5/The.Unofficial.Homestuck.Collection-2.0.6-hotfix.AppImage

The hotfix seems to have fixed it, thanks!
