Can't uninstall without installing nodejs

I'm trying to uninstall with jupyter labextension uninstall jupyterlab_vim and gives me:

An error occured.
ValueError: Please install nodejs >=12.0.0 before continuing. nodejs may be installed using conda or directly from the nodejs website.
See the log file for details:  /tmp/jupyterlab-debug-_d1n2xvw.log

I don't get why I need to install (or update) something in order to uninstall the extension.

The content in the log file is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
