What version of node/NPM are you running? For example:

The Forge CLI requires a fully supported LTS release of Node.js installed; namely, versions 14.x, 16.x, or 18.x.

If you could confirm that you’re on a supported version that would be a good start to eliminate a probable cause.

Same with node 14/npm 6, node 16/npm 8, and node 20/npm 9.

In my case, I install nvm in my terminal.
then i use the command

nvm install node

This command install the version 20 of nodejs.
I must close the cmd and open the wsl again.
Then, i try again to install

sudo npm install - g @forge/cli

and works perfect!.
verify with the command

forge --version
6.18.0
