npm won't run dev in laravel - laravel

Question

I am trying to get my project to work on fresh debian install. npm install works fine, but then npm run dev gives me this:
15% building modules 45/46 modules 1 active .../www/html/pms/resources/sass/app.scssnpm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1

npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the # development script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

and the log that this is pointing to looks like this:

I'm not sure what should I do, I google adding some npm modules, reinstalling, deleting cache, but I'm not sure what could be the cause. This works on my Windows Laragon machine. I've installed it on Ubuntu without any problem, but on Debian I cannot make it work. Ideas?

I'm experiencing the same issue with this message before the list of npm ERR that you have posted :
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: OS X
64-bit with Node.js 12.x
Found bindings for the following environments:
- OS X 64-bit with Node.js 7.x
This usually happens because your environment has changed since
running npm install. Run npm rebuild node-sass to download the
binding for your current environment.
As you say that you have installed your project on windows and Ubuntu before to try on your fresh Debian install, you maybe have the same problem.
