installing dependencies fails on npm v8

Hello, I am trying to run npm install, I get this error:

npm ERR! gyp ERR! node -v v17.9.0
npm ERR! gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.8.0
npm ERR! gyp ERR! not ok 
npm ERR! Build failed with error code: 1

I am no expert in js, is it a problem with the npm version or smth else? I have built /installed other apps before without problems, so the node/npm setup works well normally. Thanks!

I had the same issue. I got it working after changing my Node version to 13.
