The latest version of NPM for NodeJS 17 going off https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases is 8.11.0. Leaving it as @latest results in the following error during build:

Additionally, there was a message during build about -g being depreciated and using --location=global instead, so I figured as long as I'm making a change to this anyways I may as well switch that out. With the first change it builds successfully, with the second change it builds successfully without the depreciation message.
