Hi Devs,
I am trying to do npm install for the legacy project for past 3 days and finding it difficult to do.

I am using,
Nodejs: 16.13.1
Npm: 8.1.2

Need your help on this.

Thanks.

I'm using a Macbook M1 and I've encountered similar errors before. I've tried the following steps:

1. First, make sure the Nodejs and NPM versions on your machine are correct for the version you need.
2. Then, try updating the NPM version (only update NPM) and then try reinstalling the packages.
3. If it still doesn't work, try using yarn instead.
4. Check the packages in the package.json file. You need to install "each package one by one" to make sure no package is causing the error for the entire project.

These are all the methods I've tried before, I hope it helps you.

If the answer is correct, please confirm that it is accurate. I am in the process of conquering "Galaxy Brain" by helping people solve problems.

Have you been able to delete package-lock.json and run npm i again?

[bernardo-amaral]

its because the gyp, the gyp is python solution for use with node. Upgrade your nodejs to LTS version, and run on the project root:

´´´
rm -R ./node_modules
rm package-lock.json
´´´

after this, try npm install again. In my M2 i dont have any problems with npm...
