Installing the latest version causes an error → EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL

I get an error when I try to install the latest version 5.x.
Here are the logs :

My config and environment :

• Mac OS Ventura 13.5
• Node 8.9.4, npm 5.5.1

Unable to upgrade to node and npm version.
The only solution is to revert to version 4.x.
npm i cordova-plugin-localization-strings@^4.0

npm i [email protected] ???

you are supposed to install it using cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-localization-strings !!!

Thanks for your answer.
It's Ionic project.
I use these commands to install package cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-localization-strings@5 or ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-localization-strings@5 but it still doesn't work, and I have the same error.

Logs :

Failed to fetch plugin cordova-plugin-localization-strings@5 via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Error: npm: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:

I modify the temporary solution :

npm i cordova-plugin-localization-strings@^4.0
or
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-localization-strings@^4.0
or
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-localization-strings@^4.0

🤔 did you npm rm cordova-plugin-localization-strings it first?

also, copy your project for a new folder, remove all other plugins or remove everything related to this plugin and then run
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-localization-strings

(no ^4.0.0 or anything else)
