Error code 1 when installing npm packages

After playing around with nodeJs I have come back to my Craft CMS websites to work on other projects.

On executing “gulp dev”, I was met by this error

    Error: Node Sass does not yet support your current environment: OS X 64-bit with Unsupported runtime (93)

In attempting to resolve this, I removed node_modules, package.lock, and ran npm install. I have also tried npm cache clean –force as seen here How to solve npm install error “npm ERR! code 1”.

This has led to the following error:

Note, the errors are shown in example 1 and example 2 are in different repositories as this error is happening with every project, I thought it best to show the two different steps.

Not sure if these errors are related. From searching online, I found that the following part of the error

npm ERR! code 1

Is from a conflict with node versions. As I result, I have tried brew install node@14 to step down versions, but brew link did not seem to work / did not resolve this error.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have also tried reinstalling the packages one at a time, which didn’t prevent me from installing at any point, but seemed to give a bunch of random errors on running “gulp dev” that were unclear to me.

Here is my package.json, as this will likely be required
