Unable to execute npm install

I am getting this error when I run npm install -g freyr. Please help me with the issue.

Duplicate of #322.

See my suggestion in #322 (comment)

Oh yeah, this seems to be a common issue after upgrading our dependency on youtube-dl. I've been unable to narrow it down but it's an issue with npm's npx command.

Here's a couple of things you can try:

1. Use nvm as your node version manager instead of your package manager. — https://nvm.sh
2. Clear the npx cache: rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx
3. Install the bin-version-check CLI globally. npm i -g bin-version-check-cli

Try these suggestions from 1 to 3. But try installing freyr after each suggestion until it finally works.
