Solved with lovell/sharp#prebuild

[lovell]

Please note that the prebuild branch is temporary and will be removed without warning - the forthcoming sharp v0.20.0 will contain its work.

The salient error in the problem you encountered was Error: Python executable \"/usr/local/bin/python\" is v3.6.4, which is not supported by gyp. - see https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation

[damianobarbati]

In the forthcoming 0.20.0 will node-gyp still be required?

[lovell]

@damianobarbati node-gyp will no longer be required for most versions of Node on the most common platforms, which includes OS X. Please see #186 for full details.

[damianobarbati]

@lovell not sure what's going on today: I just run a npm update and I can't install sharp anymore.
Still node v9.7.1
