Discord.js error installing the @ discordjs / opus module for playing mp3 audio

Question

I want to play mp3 file. When I use this code to run mp3 in Discord bot:

channel.join().then((connection) => {
connection.play('audio.mp3');

I'm getting an error.Error is as follows:

C:\Users\user\Desktop\bots\imamhatipoglu\node_modules\prism-media\src\util\loader.js:12
  throw new Error(errorLog.join('\n'));
        ^

Error: Error: Cannot find module '@discordjs/opus'
...

I understand that I need to install the @ discordjs / opus module, but, i'm trying to install the @discordjs/opus package, but during the install process I get the following error:

I tried to open cmd as an administrator, but the situation is the same.

My node version: v16

If you are a Windows user, you must have the build-tools first installed.

As it is written in the v12 discord guide, run this command to get them: npm install --global --production --vs2015 --add-python-to-path windows-build-tools
