npm error on Linux: Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Linux 64-bit with Node.js 12.x

Environment:
Linux 64-bit
Laravel 5.5
Node.js 12.x

How I got this error:
I made some changes in one of the js file of my project. Hence, I needed to rebuild the JS part of the application.

The below mentioned command is to recompile/ re build the js part of the application:
npm run dev

I got the following error after running the above command:
Module build failed: Error: Missing binding /opt/lampp/htdocs/sp-hospital-ms/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/linux-x64-72/binding.node
Node Sass could not find a binding for your current environment: Linux 64-bit with Node.js 12.x
Found bindings for the following environments:
- Linux 64-bit with Unsupported runtime (79)
This usually happens because your environment has changed since running npm install.
Run npm rebuild node-sass to download the binding for your current environment.
