'NPM install not working for Node V 16.0.0

I am having trouble finding a solution to this. I am trying npm install for a project but I get a very large error. I have pasted just a small part of it below. Any helping in fixing this issue would be really appreciated.

I am running Node version 16.0.0 and NPM version 7.10.0. I am on macOS Big Sur

node.jsnpmnpm-install


Solution 1:[1]

Downgrade to nodejs 14.4.0 or use nvm (node version manager) to switch between versions. First install nvm and

nvm ls 
nvm install 14.4.0
nvm use 14.4.0
