My vscode is already in latest version
npm: '8.1.2',
node: '16.13.2',
v8: '9.4.146.24-node.14',

I found a solution that worked for me:
The node-gyp docs state that "node-gyp requires that you have installed a compatible version of Python, one of: v3.6, v3.7, v3.8, or v3.9.", and I had 3.10.2, as I notice you do.
Run npm install --global windows-build-tools. Since this installs some 2.7 Python version, i uninstalled it to do the next step.
Install Python 3.9 (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3910/)
Install node-gyp: npm install -g node-gyp
Clear npm cache: npm cache clear --force
Finally hit npm i -g truffle
By the way, Im running Windows 10, with Node 16.14.0 and npm 8.3.1

You have to install Visual Studio Community 2022 as well as Visual Studio Code. And when installing Visual Studio Community, you have to install desktop development with C++ with some optional packages.

I had the same issue used this code: npm install -g truffle#5.4.29

What have I done so far?
installed visual studio installer and downloaded 2017v the following :
Also I downloaded visual studio 2019 with full options and the error persists.
npm install --g --production windows-build-tools
gets stuck half way through and have to stop it manually.
How can I install parcel on my machine?
You probably don't want to use the parcel-bundler package - that's the deprecated v1 version of parcel. Maybe try it again with the parcel package, version 2.0.0+?

I faced the same error recently. Here's how you can fix it
Delete the node_modules directory
Open PowerShell(not command prompt) and run npm i
If it doesn't work, delete package-lock.json and then try the above steps again.

Pay attention to your error log. It says that, there is problem with bcrypto. Why? Because, it depends on node-gyp for build. This node-gyp requires some system level tools/software as mentioned in documentation. As you're in windows, you need to install few tools before you go further with installing ipfs-js package. Please go ahead and install those tools.
