How can i fix gulp-sass installation error

Question

I'm new to Gulp and want to install gulp-sass for my project. But it throws error. I tried to install another gulp packages like gulp-uglify, i don't have any trouble about them. It throws error for only gulp-sass. I reinstalled and updated node again but nothing changed. How can i fix this? This is the error:

What is your node.js version? I have seen this error when I use node 15.x version. But after I reinstalled the 14.x version, I can install gulp-sass module successfully. It is not good to use latest version of Node.js. For the good experience, it is good to use LTS version(You must do it in production). https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/
