npm install failing with "git dep preparation failed"

Question

I am new to node and npm and am trying to setup my system with node and npm so that I can run a local project. After installing the latest version of node and npm, when I run the command npm install --legacy-peer-deps, I see the following error:

npm ERR! code 1

node -v ==> v14.17.6
npm -v ==> 7.22.0
I ran npm cache clean -f and tried npm install --force but still run into the same error. Can anyone help me figure out what this error is and what I can try to do to resolve it? I did try the steps mentioned in this previous answer but it did not help me.
