error Error: Failed to install package "@esbuild/win32-x64"

node: 16.20.0

npm: 10.8.3

angular-cli: 19.0.0

OS: win32 x64

While trying to do npm install on udemy code repository it hits with following error.

npm error path C:\Users\<username>\Documents\<project-name>\node_modules\esbuild
npm error command failed
npm error command C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /d /s /c node install.js

npm error This can happen if you use the "--no-optional" flag. The "optionalDependencies"
npm error package.json feature is used by esbuild to install the correct binary executable
npm error for your current platform. This install script will now attempt to work around
npm error this. If that fails, you need to remove the "--no-optional" flag to use esbuild.

In my case, it was my organization's AppLocker that was causing esbuild to not run. I had to get them to whitelist it.
