Hi @tmeehanpw ,

I could see from the error logs that the command node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build is failing. This indicates that the node-pre-gyp command itself not working. You can upgrade your node-pre-gyp dependency by running npm i -g node-pre-gyp. Let me know if this resolves the issue.

Thank You!!

[MRmeehan]

Thanks for the response.

I saw WARN  deprecated [email protected]: Please upgrade to @mapbox/node-pre-gyp and then tried to install that as a follow up. Still a bit stuck.

I'll note that I was able to install with wsl2 on windows but I'd love to get this working on my mac.
