So after some digging/searching and trying these steps solved it for me:

rm -rf /Users/{username}/.npm/_libvips brew install vips // If this command throws some error about could not download cfitsio, just ignore. rm -rf node_modules npm install

Summary of mentions as above (it doesn’t work for me at all)

• $ rm -rf /Users/{username}/.npm/_libvips
• $ brew install vips

You should try downgrade node to stable version

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

v13.10.1 -> v12.16.1
