Cannot install node modules due to optipng-bin and mozjpeg

Question

I'm trying to install a cloned project with npm and I have this error due to optipng-bin or mozjpeg sometimes :

I'm in node 16 and npm 8 on MacOS.

Do someone have any idea why ?

I tried installing many packages like : automake autoconf libtool dpkg pkgconfig nasm libpng also optipng and mozjpeg with brew but still have the same error.

UPDATE

Following this thread worked: https://github.com/imagemin/mozjpeg-bin/issues/64

TL;DR:

brew install automake autoconf libtool m4 nasm libpng pkg-config
sudo ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libpng/1.6.40/lib/libpng16.a /usr/local/lib/libpng16.a

I hit this exact same error. I found a path forward by uninstalling nodejs and reinstalling it. In my case I am using asdf.

asdf uninstall nodejs <version>

I then reinstalled it with

asdf install nodejs <version>

And then ran

npm i

Good luck!
