Can't install or run html-pdf on nodejs

I have a application that generates PDF's using html-pdf on nodejs, but after I made a deploy to the production server, I'm not able to generate. It gives this error:

'html-pdf: Failed to load PhantomJS module. You have to set the path to the PhantomJS binary using 'options.phantomPath'

And if I run npm install html-pdf again, it gives this error

npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! [email protected] preinstall: `node installArchSpecificPackage`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] preinstall script.

And this error replicates to other modules, but I made a turn around.

Runing node 13.7.0 and npm 6.9.0

Can you try again with the -g flag

npm install -g html-pdf

If still not working, execute after that:

npm link html-pdf
npm link phantomjs-prebuilt
