My package.json has "sharp": "^0.16.2", I am installing as root (I have to unfortunately). I have nvm installed which currently points to 6.9.0.

root@ip-# node --version
v6.9.0
root@ip-# npm --version
3.10.8
root@# npm install

sharp@0.16.2 install /home/ubuntu/myApp/node_modules/sharp
node-gyp rebuild

module.js:474
throw err;
^

The combination of using multiple node/npm/node-gyp versions via nvm and installing as root is probably going to cause all sorts of file-trampling problems :(

graceful-fs is a deeply-nested dependency:

$ npm ls --production graceful-fs
sharp@0.17.0
  tar@2.2.1
    fstream@1.0.10
      graceful-fs@4.1.9

Running npm install --unsafe-perm might "fix" this, or see possible "solutions"at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11379919/npm-cannot-find-graceful-fs-no-matter-what-i-do

For future sanity, I recommend spending time removing the need to install as root. Good luck!
