title: npm: Why is it giving an error with "node-pre-gyp"?
body: <p>I have created a new Angular project and I ran <code>npm i</code>.
  As soon as I did that, some installs were successful until I got the following error on my Terminal.</p>
  
  <p>I have already uninstalled <code>node-gyp</code> and re-installed.</p>

  <p>I was hoping for <code>npm i</code> to run smoothly, but instead, I received that error.</p>
