Same issue occurs if node-gyp is forced to 5.0.0 in the package by doing npm i -g node-gyp@latest && npm config set node_gyp "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js"

Upon opening Xcode I noticed the location for the Command Line Tools were empty. (Preferences > Locations). After selecting the tools there, I could run the install.
