This is going to be a short article. Not much of an educational post but more of a straight to the point solution post.

While installing the latest version of NodeJS 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. The package-lock.json file was generated with an older version of NodeJS. Run npm install and everything should work perfectly this time.
