The command was:

npm i gpu.js --add

[pablocar80]

This was on Linux with WSL. I tried on the same repository on MacOS and I get a very similar message.

@pablocar80 I had the same issue using V18 of node worked as a tempoary solution

[w-oz]

Same issue

[razb-viola]

Same issue. Can't install this.

[jurian404]

Same issue on MacOS

[ilgianlu]

same problem here.
To work with python 3.12, should update gl lib to 8.1.6 (because of deps in node-gyp 9.4.1, should use ^10.2).
I'm on ubuntu 24.04
