Have you been able to get this to work?

Hi, I have the same problem, did you fix it?

[hypotyposis]

same problem. To provide more info:

• under node:16.13.1 ubuntu:22.04 npm:8.15.1 install successfully
• under node:16.13.1-alpine install error
• under node:16.13.1-bullseye install successfully

Looks like this problem is related to whether you have git installed. If not, install git first.

I got it working by doing the following steps:

1. change 2 files in /nodejs to fix the npm WARN config global --global, --local are deprecated. Use --location=global instead. (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72401421/message-npm-warn-config-global-global-local-are-deprecated-use-loc)
2. installing git
