Error: Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

[localgrr]

Hello. This seems in install okay,this is the output:

npm WARN prepublish-on-install As of npm@5, `prepublish` scripts are deprecated.
npm WARN prepublish-on-install Use `prepare` for build steps and `prepublishOnly` for upload-only.
npm WARN prepublish-on-install See the deprecation note in `npm help scripts` for more information.

But it won't seem to run. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Node v14.2.0. I've tried a complete reinstall of node. This has worked great for me in Windows, I'm a bit shaky with Linux, sorry if I've missed something glaring.

This could be related to #68

I tried node version 13.7.0 as mentioned in the fixed issue above and I still get the same error.

Thanks

I'm on a Mac and had trouble installing the entire tool because of an issue with sharp:
