Description
I recently upgraded my npm, and now it's impossible to compile code in my project. When I run npm install, I get the error output below. This is a Nuxt / Vue project and I have node v12.13.0 / npm v6.12.0. Any help would be so appreciated! I am stuck and can't develop until I resolve this.

Research direction
Start by reproducing npm install with the reported Node.js and npm versions, focusing on the fsevents@1.2.7 and grpc@1.19.0 failures. Trace the node-pre-gyp versioning.js locations shown in the stack traces and compare the reported target version with the installed runtime. Done means the cause is identified and npm install completes or compatibility guidance is verified.
