Failed doing npm install showing error "Undefined variable standalone_static_library in binding.gyp" and node-sass chokidar error

I'm updating a 3 years ago ruby on rails and react project trying to npm install but im stuck here getting this error
$ npm install
gyp: Undefined variable standalone_static_library in binding.gyp while trying to load binding.gyp
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: `gyp` failed with exit code: 1
$ npm start
sh: node-sass-chokidar: command not found
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! file sh
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! frontend#0.1.0 build-css: `node-sass-chokidar src/styles -o src/styles`
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the frontend#0.1.0 build-css script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
I tried removing node_modules, update node version and npm version.

For me this issue happened with NodeJS 19 (specifically 19.2.0)
The issue is fixed when I reverted to NodeJS 18; aka NodeJS LTS
NodeJS LTS = Long Term Support; "recommended for most users" - which at the time of this writing (12/9/2022) is NodeJS 18.12.1
It seems like this issue (Undefined variable standalone_static_library...) may happen because:
node 19.0.0 has been changed to make process.config read only #43627
After reverting, it may still be mentioned as a warning, but not an error:
npm ERR! (node:7120) [DEP0150] DeprecationWarning: Setting process.config is deprecated. In the future the property will be read-only.
And while we're talking about versions, be careful about Python3 vs Python2!
npm ERR! gyp verb which failed Error: not found: python2

I know it's simple error for local server and tried to open the index.html file manually then it didnot show the react logo but instead showed something like this.
Please help me through the installation.
npm install error

It was due to inconsistency in npm versions I guess. I had deleted node modules and re-installed all the modules again using npm-install.
It worked fine from then.

npm install fails with message "Error: socket hang up"

I met this problem when execute the npm install module-name --save
It fails no matter what I install.
And it fails if I specified it in the package.json . and then run the npm install for the whole project.
There are some similar question posted like
NPM doesn't install any modules: network socket hangs up
NodeJS - What does "socket hang up" actually mean?
but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Also, npm install is OK with my other projects.
My environment: npm v6.4.1, node.js v10.10.0 serverless v1.28.0
Appreciated for the help of any kinds.
Here is my log message in my console:

It appears as though you havent installed the node modules / dependencies.
Please try and run a
npm install
And see if that works

I used to face this problem when the port is busy.
So confirm the port you are opening for the dev server.
you can also change the port using a flag "--port 3000".
