Any suggestions of how to resolve this would be appreciated.

Does forcing the platform to be Linux rather than Android help?

npm install --platform=linux sharp

[rcrx]

All there was to it.

npm install --platform=linux sharp

This let me install node_modules but when I'm trying to execute its checking for the platform and throwing an error due to platform mismatch

/root/devdas/node_modules/venom-bot/node_modules/sharp/lib/libvips.js:62
      throw new Error(`'${vendorPlatformId}' binaries cannot be used on the '${currentPlatformId}' platform. Please remove the 'node_modules/sharp' directory and run 'npm install' on the '${currentPlatformId}' platform.`);
      ^

Error: 'linux-arm64v8' binaries cannot be used on the 'android-arm64v8' platform. Please remove the 'node_modules/sharp' directory and run 'npm install' on the 'android-arm64v8' platform.

Hello ! Please try this option add package
pkg install libvips
npm i

[UdjinStolboviy]

Also you can try to install ubuntu 20 and install v packages

1. Go to termux and run this command "apt upgrade"
2. install the application on android from the play store 'Andronix'
   3 copy the command to install the termux operating system from this application
   4 wait for installation
   If something did not work out for you, you can find a video on how to do it

npm install --platform=linux sharp

I get an even bigger error with that command.
