For me it worked to install a self compiled version of vips…

sudo apt install -y build-essential libglib2.0 libjpeg9 libopenjp2-7 librsvg2-dev imagemagick libtiff5-dev wget https://github.com/libvips/libvips/releases/download/v8.12.1/vips-8.12.1.tar.gz tar xfvz vips-8.12.1.tar.gz cd vips-8.12.1 ./configure make sudo make install sudo ldconfig npm install

It will take a while to compile the library and a lot of disk space will be used.
