12:36:04 PM: Possible solutions:

12:36:04 PM: - Install with verbose logging and look for errors: “npm install --ignore-scripts=false --foreground-scripts --verbose sharp”

12:36:04 PM: - Install for the current linux-x64 runtime: “npm install --platform=linux --arch=x64 sharp”

12:36:04 PM: - Consult the installation documentation: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install
```

Hi, @eduardo1. This looks like a sharp package install error. What is not clear is why dependencies are being installed during the build command step and not the dependency install step.

That said, you do appear to have resolved this in a later deploy. If you have the time and are willing to share your solution here, it’s quite likely that it would help out someone else in a similar situation in the future and I thank you in advance if you do so.

hi @luke , yes I was able to resolve this. In pnpm projects postinstall scripts in dependencies are disabled by default - however sharp needs its postinstall script to create a new file in node_modules for usage during the build step. You can turn off this pnpm functionality by adding sharp to onlyBuiltDependencies in either package.json or pnpm-workspace.yaml depending on your project setup.
