node_modules deleting dependency automatically

I'm following an angular project where the start of the project is published on github.

I forked this and made a clone on my local machine (OS windows 11).pre-requisites : install python.

The guide tells me to run the following commands.

npm install npm run-script build

It ends with the below errors:

While I am trying to hit npm install it creates node_modules folder. with all dependency folders but after fully execution of command it end up with empty node_modules, and throwing bunch of errors.
