Gyp error when trying whatsapp sample

help
1

I just cloned Urigos Whatsapp sample (https://github.com/Urigo/Ionic2CLI-Meteor-WhatsApp), changed to the api folder and tried to install the packages with meteor npm install.

Then I got the following gyp error. I am on 64 Bit winows and node-gyp worked before.

Ionic2CLI-Meteor-WhatsApp\node_modules\sharp>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Users\Marc\AppData\Local\.meteor\packages\me
teor-tool\1.4.2_3\mt-os.windows.x86_32\dev_bundle\lib\node_modules\npm\bin\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild )  else
(node "" rebuild )
ERROR: Intel Architecture 32-bit systems require manual installation - please see http://sharp.dimens.io/en/stable/install/

BTW npm install -g sharp works fine.

Hi. I have same problem. Do you found any solution? Only solution for me was to downgrade version of sharp to 0.11.4, but I changed app architecture recently and it doesn’t work for me anymore.
