I've tried using npm and pnpm to install hnswlib-node but i haven't had any luck with either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to check your package.json. NPM does not support link keyword, on the other hand, Yarn supports it.

I think that you can avoid that error by changing the link keyword to the file keyword or using Yarn.
