There is an error when running npm install due to MacOS Monterey 12.3 not supporting Python 2. There is already a thread about this issue here: TryGhost/node-sqlite3#1552.

After trying different solutions, I managed to make it work by downgrading Nodejs version from 17 to 12!

So just to sum it up:

1. Open iTerm with Rosetta (also, if you're on VSCode like me, follow this )
2. Install Python2:

• 1. Install pyenv with brew install pyenv
• 2. Install Python 2.7 with pyenv install 2.7.18 and then pyenv global 2.7.18
• 3. Then set the default paths export PATH="${HOME}/.pyenv/shims:${PATH}"

3. Downgrade Nodejs from 17 to 12
