Hi Guys, upon running gridsome develop i get error about it not being able to install the sharp module

PS C:\Users\Name\Documents\GitHub\Web.UK.Site> gridsome develop Mode: undefined APIURL:
Gridsome v0.7.23

Error: Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

Cannot find module '../build/Release/sharp-win32-x64.node' Require stack:

• C:\Users\Name\Documents\GitHub\Web.UK.Site\node_modules\sharp\lib\sharp.js
• C:\Users\Name\Documents\GitHub\Web.UK.Site\node_modules\sharp\lib\constructor.js
• C:\Users\Name\Documents\GitHub\Web.UK.Site\node_modules\sharp\lib\index.js

Possible solutions:

• Install with the --verbose flag and look for errors: "npm install --ignore-scripts=false --verbose sharp"
• Install for the current win32-x64 runtime: "npm install --platform=win32 --arch=x64 sharp"
• Consult the installation documentation: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install at Object.

[alisalad]

remove ("node-sass": "^4.13.1",) from the JSON file.

I had a similar problem with sharp but related to Mac M1 processor. This has helped me.
