gyp ERR when initializing the uniapp project

After reinstalling the computer, node 18.16.1-x64 was installed, and I encountered no problems when writing back-end code.

When the uniapp project is initialized, gyp ERR is reported. The specific error is as follows:

It is estimated that the current node version does not correspond to node-gyp. Uninstall node v18.16.1, download node v16.20.2-x64 and install it.

Check the node version: node -v

v16.20.2

Check npm version: npm -v

8.19.4

The cache and prefix have been set before and can be modified through the following commands

Modify the value of prefix

npm config set prefix [global warehouse address] (note that path \ must be used \)
Modify the cache value: npm config set cache [global cache address] (note that the path \ must use \)

After the modification is completed, use: npm config ls to view it

npm config set registry https://registry.npmmirror.com/

npm config get registry
