`npm install` fails on node-gyp rebuild with `gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected!`

Every time I try npm install. I get the following error. How do I fix it?

gyp: No Xcode or CLT version detected!

I am on node -v → v8.8.0 & npm -v → v6.11.3

I tried to run it on VSCode terminal and iTerm, but both ended up getting the same error. (both are updated to the latest version). The only new thing I did is updating my macOS to the latest version (Catalina 10.15.3 today).

> node-gyp rebuild
