npm install --only=dev doesn't work, while npm ci and npm install do

[vadimyen]

Everything is okay when i use plain npm install or npm ci, but now I want to install just devDeps in some jobs on CI and try running the command npm install --only=dev as non-root user (as usual), but get the error locally and on CI:

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! node-sass@4.14.1 install: node scripts/install.js npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the node-sass@4.14.1 install script. npm ERR!

What can be the reason of that?

hello!

I have the same issue when using npm install --save-dev

The error given below:

Downloading binary from https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.14.1/linux-x64-88_binding.node Cannot download "https://github.com/sass/node-sass/releases/download/v4.14.1/linux-x64-88_binding.node":

HTTP error 404 Not Found

When looking on github there is no linux-x64-88_binding.node under v4.14.1

npm -v = 6.14.9 node -v = 15.2.1
