I am trying to install packages on VScode (npm install) with the goal of using vite and svelte and get the error messages:

I am new to javascript so my apologies if the solution is trivial.
I tried to install esbuild manually or esbuild seperatly (npm install esbuild) but since I am new to javascript I do not know how to navigate this further.
