I am in the process of creating a package for Scrypted but fail to achieve building the @scrypted/node-pty dependency.
Scrypted uses a Node/npm environment, and I have managed to configure most of it. You can view the progress of the package derivation at my current test branch.
The issue is the @scrypted/node-pty dependency, which uses node-gyp. After failing to fetch a prebuild version, it tries to build it, but errors because node-addon-api is not available.

First, I assumed it was a direct node-gyp issue, but it seems that node-addon-api is not available because it is a development dependency. I am currently trying to install the dependency by modifying the original package.json upfront, but so far, I have had no luck.
Any help to solve the issue is appreciated.
Thank you!
