Doccano: npm install fails on RHEL7 from Squire.git using ssh protocol

Problem

For Installing from Source, I'm getting an error on npm install
I've also attached the debug log that was generated by npm install.
I attempted the following work arounds
1) Create SSH pub/priv key pair on github
after doing so, I can manually run the command that fails in npm with no problem

/usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t ssh://[email protected]/seonim-ryu/Squire.git

2) try to force git to use https instead of git

git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf [email protected]:
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://

How to reproduce the problem
I've created a script which executes the following

yum install rh-python36* -y
yum install rh-nodejs12* -y
yum install gcc-c++ -y
yum groupinstall "Development tools" -y
source scl_source enable rh-nodejs12 rh-python36

git clone https://github.com/chakki-works/doccano.git
cd doccano
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd frontend

npm install
