I see the problem is with the x509 dependency

[rajpraba1]

its due to native build (node-gyp) issue of x509. for now resolve by downgrading to node v10.23 and installed it. since the binaries are built, i hope the node version can be updated to v12 or 14 since npm may not build those x509 native bindings once again.
