Recommendations provided by the codex:

node-gyp v8.4 still relies on distutils, but the Python 3.13 you are currently using to drive it (located within the Apple Framework directory) has completely removed this standard library module. This results in a direct ModuleNotFoundError: No module named “distutils” when building node-pty. Resolution approach: Either switch node-gyp to a Python version that still includes distutils (recommended: 3.11/3.12), or restore a compatibility layer for 3.13 (by installing setuptools, which provides a vendored distutils).

me too, my python --version is 3.12

brew install python-setuptools

This will install the missing python dependencies (distutils)
