Hi guys,
I have an issue during package installation.

npm i node-fetch
npm ERR! code ETIMEDOUT
npm ERR! syscall connect
npm ERR! errno ETIMEDOUT
npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.org/data-uri-to-buffer failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 2606:4700::6810:1d22:443
npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.

OS: Windows 11
Node: v18.17.0
NPM: 9.6.7

What I did to solve, but still have this issue

• Removed/Installed Node.js

Can some one advice how to fix?
Thx

After changing Node.js version:

Node.js: v20.5.0
NPM: 9.8.0

"node-fetch": "^3.3.2",

const fetch = require("node-fetch");
^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module

But this code worked with previous versions.

After installing

npm i node-fetch@2.6.7
Node.js: v20.5.0
NPM: 9.8.0

This work for me. May be this can be useful for someone.
