it seems to be some problem with keytar

Python 3.12 and above does not contain setuptools and breaks node-gyp.

brew install python@3.11

Thanks for the tip!
Installed python 3.11 using brew

You have still 3.13 trying to run by node-gyp, you should remove it

gyp info find Python using Python version 3.13.0 found at "/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.13/bin/python3.13"

[haron-IV]

@ra3orblade You have pretty old stack here in the repo. Are there any plans to up it?
