I'm new to using Gatsby. I am able to use the default starter for Gatsby, but any other starter seems to rely on Sharp, and the installation of that is failing no matter what I do.

Does anyone know what I may be missing here?

Try deleting your node_modules and your package-lock.json (if using npm) or yarn.lock (if using yarn).

With npm

$ rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
$ npm install
$ npm run build

With yarn

$ rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock
$ yarn
$ yarn build

This fixed the issue for me. It seems that my yarn.lock was conflicting with my Node version and caused the error.

If this doesn't work for you, take a look at this GitHub issue or this one, where other potential fixes are mentioned.

Avoid using sudo with npm install where possible. If you absolutely have to use sudo then add the npm install --unsafe-perm flag.

I changed "sharp": "^0.21",to "sharp": "^0.22.1" in package json, and finally it worked.
