While installing the latest version of node into an existing repo using asdf, I ran into the gyp error when trying to run npm install.

The fix for it was simple. Delete existing node_modules and the package-lock.json file is what solved the problem. The package-lock.json file was generated with an older version of NodeJS. Ran npm install and everything worked perfectly this time.
