@ElizabethD3 Can this issue be closed?

contextify is umaintained and last released three years ago: https://www.npmjs.com/package/contextify That predates Node.js 14 – the module has not been updated to work on newer versions of Node.js.

Note that contextify’s README states that it’s no longer required since Node.js 0.12 (that’s 0.12 and not 12.x) so whatever it is you’re trying to install would need to be updated, or you’re stuck on older unsupported versions of Node.js.
