I have the same issue on Linux Ubuntu

This stems from some incompatibility between node-sass and your system.

#5282 would fix it... in a way. It would let you use everything but sass.

One advise I can give for now is that you can actually force an install.

This isn't usually a good idea, and even npm will tell you so:

kamik@T460p MINGW64 /d/sandbox/master-project (master)
$ npm install --force
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.

But it can bypass the node-sass issues. You'll have a broken node-sass install but everything else will still work.

There seems to be a workaround for Chinese users, courtesy of @aijingsun6 in #5360 (comment):

I found the solution:
1.add sass_binary_site=https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node-sass/ to npmrc file
2.npm install -g @augular/cli

If you are like me, and had this problem on one of the ubuntu instances in an EC2, installing node doing this helped me:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
