Description

### Problem description
I am trying to install `grpc-tools` package on `ubuntu 18.04` with `npm`. But an error arises. On `ubuntu 20.04` everything is ok. How to install it on `ubuntu 18.04`?

### Reproduction steps
I have Dockerfile:
```
FROM ubuntu:18.04
RUN apt update && apt install -y --no-install-recommends nodejs npm
RUN npm config set strict-ssl false
RUN npm install grpc-tools@1.11.0
```
I build docker this way:
```
docker build .
```
Getting an error:
```
Step 4/4 : RUN npm install grpc-tools@1.11.0

npm WARN deprecated node-pre-gyp@0.15.0: Please upgrade to @mapbox/node-pre-gyp: the non-scoped node-pre-gyp package is deprecated and only the @mapbox scoped package will recieve updates in the future

> grpc-tools@1.11.0 install /node_modules/grpc-tools
