Solution

  • It looks like this is your problem: [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey)

    npm is trying to clone the /openai/openai-realtime-api-beta.git repository but cannot connect over SSH because your public key hasn't been registered with GitHub.

    GitHub has a walk-through on how to set this up. Once you follow the step-by-step instructions, this should work for you.
