cannot install node modules and getting an error in Mac M1 - node.js

Question

I'm trying to npm i in my new Mac M1 and I get the below error. Appreciate if anyone can have a look and provide a solution.
I tried several solutions, but I ended up getting the same error.

I tried npm i --force as well. I get the same error.

Answer 1

npm cache clean --force
or
npm cache clean
if it doesn't work then manually search the cache folder delete from ~/.npm . Maximum times it's done by npm cache clean It's work perfectly.
After that run
npm cache verify
After that install
npm install npm#latest -g
