Install error on Vite project with Svelte - node.js

Question

I want to try out svelte, but whenever I try to install all the npm dependencies it just won't work.
Here's the latest log from the npm install command:

I created the project by running npm init vite and followed all the steps. The only issue arose when I ran the npm install command in the root directory of the project.
