Hi @fdciabdul.

It looks like this there's a few things going on here:

• You're using Node 21. This is a non-LTS Node version (like all odd-numbered Node versions) and HTTP Toolkit server doesn't actively test against or support it. It'll probably work, but if you want to be sure it's best to use the latest LTS version (v20.11.1).
• For some reason, your permissions are blocking some install scripts from dependencies from managing their own files. I'm not sure what would cause that but that sounds like either a permissions or npm configuration issue that you'll need to investigate. It looks like this might just be a warning though rather than an error, so maybe you can ignore that.
• A native build is failing, because you don't have a working native build environment on your machine (CMake at least, possible other missing system tools). In general it's useful to have this set up so you can use native modules in Node.js, but alternatively the native build here is actually only running because a subdependency uses native code but only provides prebuilt binaries for Node v20. If you switch to Node v20 the prebuilt version should be used, which will skip this completely.
• You're running npm run dev but that script doesn't exist, and has never existed. I'm not sure where you've got that from. You can see the scripts available in package.json. There's a guide for local dev in the README here, in general you want to use npm start to run the server locally.
