Install Xcode Command Line Tools by running \`xcode-select --install\` in the terminal, then retry \`npm install\`.

Journey Context:
A developer on macOS Sonoma tried to install a native Node.js addon \(e.g., \`bcrypt\` or \`sharp\`\) via npm. The install failed with an ELIFECYCLE error pointing to node-gyp failing because Xcode Command Line Tools were missing. The developer had recently updated macOS and the tools were removed. After searching, they ran \`xcode-select --install\`, which prompted a GUI installer. Once installed, they ran \`npm install\` again, and the build succeeded. The environment was Node 20.10.0, npm 10.2.3, macOS Sonoma 14.1.
