library1.32.0jsnpmunverified

Platform-specific binary package for the Lightning CSS CLI on aarch64 Linux with glibc. Lightning CSS is a CSS parser, transformer, and minifier written in Rust and maintained by the Parcel bundler team. Version 1.32.0 is current as of 2025. It offers extremely fast transformations (often 10-100x faster than PostCSS or esbuild-based tools) and supports modern CSS features like CSS nesting, relative color syntax, container queries, and `@layer`. This package is one of several platform-specific builds; end users typically install the platform-agnostic `lightningcss-cli` package instead, which automatically picks the correct binary. Do not install this package directly unless you are bundling or cross-compiling for a specific target.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaDo not install this platform-specific package directly unless you are targeting aarch64 Linux with glibc explicitly. For general use, install the 'lightningcss-cli' meta-package which selects the correct binary.

fix

Run: npm install -g lightningcss-cli (not the platform-specific package).

affects: >=1.0.0

breakingSince version 1.0.0, Lightning CSS CLI dropped support for Node.js <12. If you are on an older Node version, upgrade or use an older major version.

fix

Upgrade Node.js to 12 or later, or pin lightningcss-cli to a 0.x version.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe 'lightningcss-cli' package previously used a different CLI argument format. Older versions required `--minify` as a separate argument; now it is a flag. Check your scripts if migrating from an older version.

fix

Update CLI usage to the new format: lightningcss --minify input.css -o output.css

affects: <1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'lightningcss-cli-linux-arm64-gnu'

Directly requiring the platform-specific package as a JS module.

fix

Do not require this package. Use the 'lightningcss-cli' meta-package or npx.

ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE: The "path" argument must be of type string.

Using the CLI incorrectly, e.g., missing input file argument.

fix

Check CLI syntax: npx lightningcss [options] <input.css> -o <output.css>
