As you can see in this snippet of the error: npm ERR! clang: error: no such file or directory: 'Poly/Clubs/CSAI/Repos/argo-editor/node_modules/node-addon-api' it appears to be trying to reference node-addon-api but has cut out all of the absolute filepath before the Poly in my Cal Poly folder.

Here is the entire filepath for reference, from another error snippet: npm ERR! path /Users/grantholland/Grant/Cal Poly/Clubs/CSAI/Repos/argo-editor/node_modules/deasync

If I rename that directory to CalPoly, the npm run install or npm run init works.

Not sure if this error is coming from something we wrote or from a tool we're using...
