npm install error 1, trouble shooting failed

Question

I've tried all the fixes I can find, but cannot seem to get npm to function. Hoping someone may have additional insight around this error:

Fixes I have tried:

• Adding %AppData%\npm to PATH
• Complete reinstall, including node, and all PATH
• Changing the prefix from -g to --global
• Changing the NPM Version
• Install prisma and reinstalling prisma

npm version: 8.11.0 node version: v16.16.0 Using VS Code

 PS C:\Users\txxxx\SaaStime> npm install npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated.

This is the Error I get in the log:

Answer 1

After 3 days of no avail, I finally figured it out.

If you are using npm install on windows it will throw errors.

My first fix to this was yarn which allowed me to run just fine.

Then, I decided to do a dual-boot ubuntu and have had zero issues with npm or any node packages.
