I faced a similar issue after doing the below actions this issue solved.

  1. Delete package-lock.json file.

  2. Open cmd/terminal in administrator mode.

  3. run command: npm install

  4. run command: npm update

Node version is likely incompatible. There'd be an expected version actual version. Use nvm or similar to install and change node versions.

Delete node_modules and try install again. You probably get a message similar to:

error [email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">= 10.21.0". Got "10.20.1"
error Found incompatible module.
