I am pretty much noob at programming and specially terminal/command prompt stuff. So whenever I try to install something with npm this error occurs.

this is a case when i tried using npm install. but this occurs on anything i want to install with npm.
I've mainly tried deleting npm-modules folder, npm cache clear and changing node version after reading other stackoverflow posts but doing so nothing changed. All other suggestions/solutions end up with similar error code. chatGPT told me to install python and I did but that didn't fix it either.
