gatsby-remark-images not installing

[dougajmcdonald]

Hi all, not 100% sure whether this is the right place for this issue, but I'm struggling to get gatsby-remark-images installed via npm.

I'm on windows and I'm aware it needs the node-gyp / python malarky so have run npm install --global --production windows-build-tools which succeeded and restarted by cmd prompt.

At the moment I'm getting the following after running npm i --save gatsby-remark-images:

C:\github\gatsby-blog>npm i --save gatsby-remark-images
npm WARN read-shrinkwrap This version of npm is compatible with lockfileVersion@1, but npm-shrinkwrap.json was generated for lockfileVersion@0. I'll try to do my best with it!

I'm not sure quite where this is falling over internally, so unsure where to start debugging, any thoughts?

EDIT:
Did some more digging and I get the same errors just installing the gatsby-remark-sharp plugin too, so I think the issue lies in there. npm install --save gatsby-plugin-sharp === <same errors>

Closing this it was a sharp install issue, resolution on the linked issue
