When running npm install, it gets to a certain point in the process where it causes a cascade of errors and I can't really tell what is going on. I've pasted the errors from the terminal below:

" npm ERR! gyp ERR! find VS could not find a version of Visual Studio 2017 or newer to use

"
Maybe try updating your VScode (usually does it on it's own) and your Node.js to the current 16 version.
The initial message looks like bcrypt.
If you can't get it to run I would just manually install all the modules. That way you can figure out which one is throwing the error.
