@qixian the error suggests that you need to install npm itself globally on the machine you're using. Do you see `npm` in the output from `npm list -g` ?  
You should see `npm` listed in the tree view. e.g:

```auto
➜ kibana git:(main) ✗ npm list -g
/<redacted>/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.2/lib
├── corepack@0.10.0
└── npm@8.1.2

```

If you have `npm` globally, then check if the user you're running Kibana with has the right permissions needed to install packages.
