Did you update your npm to the latest version? – Dennis Kozevnikoff Jul 10 '20 at 17:15 — Dennis Kozevnikoff, Jul 10 '20 at 17:15

this happens usually because of older version of npm or node, you can read more about this here

You can resolve this by updating your current npm version by

npm install -g npm@latest

take a look here for more about npm update

and then

npm i bcrypt --save
