I tried npm node-gyp -g but it didn't help. I am trying to install truffle in my mac. I am using mac os Catalina, node version 16.13.1, and npm version 8.1.2

Refer to https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/issues/4692 , So for workaround we have to...

For non-nvm

# Install npm 6
npm i -g npm@6

# Make sure should get npm `6.14.15`
npm --version

# Should work now
npm i -g truffle

For nvm

# In case you have 16 installed (you can skip this)
npm config delete prefix

# Get npm 6.14.16 from node 14 (or you can try install only npm)
nvm use 14

# Make sure should get npm `6.14.15`
npm --version

# Should work now
npm i -g truffle

Above answer did not work for me

Try this :

sudo npm install -g truffle --unsafe-perm
