Installing Joplin CLI on Fedora with npm fails on nody-gyp

Operating system

Linux

Joplin version

3.0.1

What issue do you have?

I am trying to install on Fedora 39 using the supported route. I check the dependency on Node 12+

node -v     
v20.17.0
npm -v
10.8.2

but the command suggested here, i.e. NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.joplin-bin npm install -g joplin, fails with:

npm error code 1
