The error message "npm ERR! errno -4048" usually means that the installation process encountered a file system error on Windows. Specifically, it means that the maximum path length of the file system has been exceeded. This can occur when trying to install a package with a long file path, or when the target installation directory has a long path. To fix this issue, you can either try installing the package in a different directory with a shorter path, or you can try to shorten the length of the file path by renaming files or directories. Another option may be to switch to a different operating system that doesn't have the same file path limitations.
