Describe the bug Receiving the below error when running the command sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/lwc-dev-server in the terminal

Output:
node-gyp not found! Please ensure node-gyp is in your PATH--
Try running: `sudo npm install -g node-gyp`
spawn node-gyp ENOENT
/bin/sh: nodejs: command not found
Installing plugin @salesforce/lwc-dev-server... failed

When I run the suggested command, it returns sudo: npm: command not found

Expected behavior Successful install

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context Have tried on two separate machines with the same error

Got it working by installing node.js https://nodejs.org/en/ and then running the command recommended in the error message sudo npm install -g node-gyp. Then when I ran sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/lwc-dev-server again my machine actually prompted me to install Xcode Command Line Tools. After installing that, I ran sfdx plugins:install @salesforce/lwc-dev-server one last time and it worked!
