'Getting a bunch of error messages when trying to install Truffle. How do I fix this?

I am using Windows 11 and Windows PowerShell to write the commands. Right now its a struggle to just install Truffle :/

I've tried restarting the computer, installing and uninstalling Node.js, and even using different command-line interfaces.

This is the code I am using to Install Truffle:

  npm install truffle -g

I've also tried doing `npm install -g truffle' or even

 npm install -g [email protected]

How do I fix these errors?? The output I get is the following:

Solution 1:[1]

It appears that they know about this problem, but aren't working on it too quickly: https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/issues/4272

Solution 2:[2]

I was having the same issue. I ran this command and it worked. I'm not sure about yours but you can try it as well.

npm install -g [email protected]

Solution 3:[3]

npm show truffle version

to find the latest version available. You should be good to go if you are able to get a version of truffle. The warnings are to let you know that some npm packaged are deprecated.
