You have not installed the build tools.  
`sudo apt install build-essential`

Everything is ok after your intervention, but I can't understand, wasn't this package installed directly with Node red, everything else is installed without a problem?

The page for getting started on pi (or Debian/Ubuntu) says:

This script will work on any **Debian-based** operating system, including **Ubuntu** and **Diet-Pi**. You may need to run `sudo apt install build-essential git curl` first to ensure npm is able to fetch and build any binary modules it needs to install.

By the way, nodejs 20 is not yet supported. It may work ok for you but you may find problems. If you do then go back to 18.

Use the script from the link and add on the end  
`--node18`  
with a space before that option.
