title: ReactJs : npm erorr with respect to node-sass
body: <p>While trying to <code>run npm audit fix</code> and <code>npm audit fix --force</code> to fix few vulnerabilities in a sample react app, I came about this error which I am not able to find a fix for. Can I get some help with regards to this? I am new to reactjs and I am trying out a project.</p>
  <p>I encountered this issue first when I installed firebase using npm. When I installed firebase I got few vulnerabilities warnings. Thats when I ran <code>run npm audit fix</code> and <code>npm audit fix --force</code></p>
