Issue running celocli on my Google VM instance

Protocol Full Nodes
1

Hi all,

I was able to get a full node up and running on a Google Compute Engine VM. Its running Ubuntu. However, despite being able to install npm, there is some node-gyp error that is not letting me install celocli. I get this error and would appreciate some guidance:

user2@celo-alexandria-full-node:~$ node -v
v12.21.0
user2@celo-alexandria-full-node:~$ npm -v
7.24.1
user2@celo-alexandria-full-node:~$ python3 --version
Python 3.9.5
user2@celo-alexandria-full-node:~$ sudo npm install -g @celo/celocli
