    Thank you for your responses but finally i got the solution. I was running the project inside WSL docker. I just make the container down and then make it up again and then i ran npm install and it worked.

    • sudo docker-compose down
    • sudo docker-compose up -d
    • sudo docker-compose exec your_image_name bash
    • npm install

    Then it worked. Thanks

    Well, the build is failing because your container doesn’t have python2. This suggests to me that you are trying to build an older version of node-sass. If there is not a good reason for that, my first suggestion is that you build at least a newer version, if not the latest.

    Then, I found that I was able to build node-sass with the following dependencies on alpine:

    • python3
    • make
    • g++

    This is accomplished on alpine with apk add --no-cache python3 make g++

    Other package managers will be different.

    Without seeing your Dockerfile, that’s about all I can give you. If you absolutely must use this version of node-sass, you will need to use an older base container that will allow you to install python2, and this will mean an older version of node as well most likely. Finally, I recommend you use yarn instead of NPM. I find it to be easier to read the error output, and friendlier in general.

    Edit:
    Here is a working Dockerfile.

    FROM node:21-alpine3.17
RUN apk add --no-cache python3 make g++ && 
yarn global add node-sass

    Of course this container is fairly useless, but it shows that the build works with these dependencies.

    My advice holds for your php version as well – unless you have a good reason to run 7.2, you should update to 8.0 (minimum non-EOL version) or 8.2.
