attempting to deploy meteor application. Fails when running NPM INSTALL

Sorry for the following wall of text.

So I've been using someone else's meteor app. (they open sourced it) It's currently un-built and I've been running it on dev-mode. It's a lot slower than expected and users are having issues connecting to my local machine. So I'm attempting to deploy the app by following: https://guide.meteor.com/deployment.html#deploying.

So I've been getting errors when trying to run npm i. My dad recommended me to run npm cache verify and try again, then npm cache clean as a last resort. Neither worked and I've still am getting errors. Although as soon as I tried again after running npm cache verify the error amount skyrocketed. I unfortunately don't have the errors I got before I cleared my cache but I have the current logs here: https://pastebin.com/dAcRnE9v But here is a snapshot:

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! fibers@2.0.2 install: `node build.js || nodejs build.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR! Failed at the fibers@2.0.2 install script.

I honestly don't have any idea what todo. I've never worked with meteor before, nor the fibers module that's failing. I don't even know if this is the right place I should be asking for help.

meteor npm node.js

I once had fibers npm package in my package.json which caused a similar error. Once I removed it everything built just fine.

You can't change Meteor's version of node - for compatibility reasons it bundles node/npm with Meteor to protect you. Just prefix all your npm/node commands with meteor like this:

meteor npm install

It won't use the node version (13.x) that you have installed
