I am using "npm i -g appium@next" and "npm audit fix --force", which results in the following error: Windows 10 64 bit.

I tried to edit the file and change tmpDir to tmpdir, but the error persists. Full error log:

Tried changing tmpDir to tmpdir based https://github.com/alhazmy13/serverless-offline-python/issues/18#issuecomment-666549117, but this does not apply.
Providing this response as a solution for anyone who encounters this issue in the future.
Delete the folders "node_modules/appium" and "node_modules/appium-doctor" , than install appium using "npm i -g appium@next" should hopefully work
