• Are there any errors during npm install sharp?
• Does the node_modules/sharp/vendor directory, created during npm install, exist?
• Has vips been installed globally on this machine via brew at any time in the past?
• What does otool -L node_modules/sharp/build/Release/sharp.node say?

@niftylettuce Are you able to provide the requested details should this problem still be occurring?

Had exact same error. Fixed by upgrade from "^0.18.4" to "^0.20.0"

This error randomly occurred after adding an unrelated package with yarn just a moment ago. I was already at "^0.20.0" but running yarn upgrade sharp resolved the issue anyway!
