'Strapi Error when running on Digital Ocean Server/Droplet

I have created a new droplet/server in Digital Ocean.

I also have installed node and npm in that droplet.

I then install and run the Strapi app on it. Before actually running strapi...I first npm install inside the strapi folder

However I am getting a few errors that I think is related to sqlite and/or nvm node

Strapi usually works out of the box.... I'm guessing it is my setup that is the problem... or should I remove the better-sqlite package in dependency???

How to fix so I can do npm install without any errors?
