Errors compiling Vite on new laravel 9 install

I've worked with laravel5 and 6 for years but decided to start a new small site on Laravel 9 using sail and suprisingly haven't had many issues until now.

I started working on a dashboard and making small changes, all of which have shown except for some style class tags for tailwind. I used 'sail down' to pull everything down and run 'sudo npm run dev' to see if that would fix it. Unfortunately that brought about this error:

sudo npm run dev

> [email protected] dev
> vite

I'm so lost and can't seem to find any good topics on this specific issue. Has this happened to anyone else?
