Laravel npm install on OSX vagrant box gives node-sass error - laravel

Question

My package.json file:
{
"private": true,
"devDependencies": {
"babel-polyfill": "^6.9.1",
"gulp": "*",
"laravel-elixir-browsersync2": "*",
"laravel-elixir-vueify": "1.0.3"
},
"dependencies": {
"bootstrap-sass": "*",
"laravel-elixir": "5.0.0"
}
}
I try to do a npm install and I get an error. That seems to be related with node-sass.
Here's the error log:

From memory, you could try npm rebuild node-sass.
Also, if you may run into a problem with symlinks, try npm rebuild node --no-bin-links.
