The current version of node-sass in package-lock.json is set to v4.7.2, which is not supported on NodeJS 10+. You can update node-sass to v4.14 with: npm install --save node-sass@v4.14.1
Which passes installation and you can continue.

I have tried:

npm install --save node-sass@v4.14.1
npm install --save --save-exact node-sass@v4.14.1
npm install --save-dev node-sass@v4.14.1

Nothing works :/. I keep having the same (or similar) error:

I did a lot of things but I think this made the trick:

npm install --save gulp-sass@3.2.1
