 npm install odbc

+🚨🚨🚨
+
+**NOTE:** starting with version 12, npm will no longer run install scripts by default. When installing, you will see a message like this:
+
+```sh
+npm warn install-scripts   odbc@2.5.0 (install: node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build)
+```
+
+We use [node-pre-gyp](https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp) to download prebuilt binaries or build from source for platforms which don't have prebuilt binaries.
+You will need to approve the install script in order to use the odbc package. After approval, you will need to re-trigger the install script for odbc to work.
+
+```bash
+npm approve-scripts odbc
+npm rebuild odbc
+```
+Once it has been approved and your package.json is updated, future installs will just work. 
+
+For more information refer to the [npm blog post](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-09-upcoming-breaking-changes-for-npm-v12/).
