[BUG] Cannot use npm install

[BenDol]

Describe the bug When I run npm install it fails with an error (see attached for more details)

To Reproduce No Idea if this is a unique issue or it it's repeatable. Just fresh install the server npm?

See error

Hey, this is not an issue on our end but most likely something to do with your npm version, cache or a the package itself on your node version (support issue).

• run: npm cache clean --force
• delete node_modules
• run: npm install

Also try to update your node version or install the additional tools for nodejs from the Windows Start menu (in node.js folder) if those are missing or we're installed manually.

Sorry for any inconvinience you're having with npm but it's wlnot within our control :/ We'll be adding a min required node version in our readme from now on!

PS: feel free to reply, if issues persist I might re-open the issue and invesigate further if needed.

I had to follow this https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/wiki/Installation:-Windows Then change the npm msvs version npm config set msvs_version 2019

Perhaps the installation guide could be updated to accommodate this requirement?
