getting an error when using `npm install react-native-modal-datetime-picker` in terminal

Question

I am working on an app and whenever I try to install react-native-modal-datetime-picker package it keeps throwing an error and this is the same for any date time picker package like @react-native-community/datetime-picker

and this is the error that I'm getting:
