This error came when I created gatsby-default-starter site. How to solve it. What is the problem with it?

It seems that you are using Windows as OS. This issue is usually related to some additional dependencies that you may need. Try the following:
Delete your project (to avoid potentially corrupted dependencies).
Install the windows-build-tools by:
npm install --global windows-build-tools --vs2015
Run your starter command and develop it. For example:
npm install -g gatsby-cli
gatsby new gatsby-site
cd gatsby-site
gatsby develop
If the issue persists try installing manually the missing dependencies by:
npm install imagemin-pngquant#5.0.1 --save
npm install pngquant-bin#3.1.1 --save
For further details check Gatsby on Windows docs.
When I first tried to install puppeteer through npm, I got errors saying permission is denied for the .local-chromium folder. So I followed this SO post and that error went away, but now there is another (base path is omitted):

But that directory doesn't exist, nor does puppeteer at all within node_modules so I can't delete it and retry. I'm not sure what the installation is reffering to. Does anybody have any idea what it could mean?
Also, this is irrelevant but another concern is with the warnings saying that a node version >=10.18.1 is wanted and so 10.4.0 is unsupported, any ideas what's up with that as well?
I ended up using nvm to switch to the stable Node release (10.18.1) which resolved both the errors and the warnings. I guess there was some incompatibility with newer Node versions.

You need to have a path to NodeJS inside your environment variables list.
On some OS reboot might be needed to make this work.
Try reboot or reinstall NodeJS and then reboot.
I am trying to install expo to use react native, using npm install -g expo-cli but I get huge error logs.
I tried to chown /usr/local using sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/* /usr/local and sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local but I get chown: /usr/local: Operation not permitted. I tried updating node and npm, deleting them, reinstalling them, updating with homebrew, installing expo-cli with homebrew. I tried sudo installing. I get similar errors. I tried yarn add global expo-cli and I got almost the exact same output that I got from npm install -g expo-cli about the dependencies.
Here's the output I get in terminal from running npm install -g expo-cli:

I expected the output to say something like expo installed ok but instead it gives me the error logs about dependencies and permissions.
You need to have super user access to install a package globally. Try:
sudo npm install -g expo-cli
You can use npx alternative of npm install.
I can't fix the error, but
$ npx expo init Awesomeproject
works.
The only disadvantage of using npx is taking more time than using preinstalled expo.
Try npx!
The best solution I found, as this is related to some new permissions controls in macOS is to use option 2 here: https://github.com/mixonic/docs.npmjs.com/blob/master/content/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions.md
This changes your default home folder for global modules, which may require reinstallation of others when it’s time to update, but won’t affect those already installed.
Otherwise an unsafe method of doing it is:
sudo npm i -g --unsafe-perm expo-cli
