Installation fails on node version 21.1.0

[yashgt]

The installation worked using npm install -g on the latest version of node.

However on node version 21.1.0 on Windows, it fails with the following error:
npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! path C:\Users\yash_ganthe\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\gtfs-to-html\node_modules\better-sqlite3
npm ERR! command failed

npm ERR! gyp ERR! find VS VCINSTALLDIR not set, not running in VS Command Prompt

Are there any pre-requisites for the installation to succeed?

It fails even on Linux with similar error even with latest version of nodejs
