I'm logging this issue in case anyone has a similar problem.

This caused nimble install denim to fail because it couldn't find node_api.h.

I found the file here: $HOME/.cache/node-gyp/18.16.0/include/node/node_api.h

So to fix the error, I copied the node directory with: cp -r /home/jasonfi/.cache/node-gyp/18.16.0/include/* /usr/include

After that denim installed fine via nimble.
