运行“npm i”时遇到节点版本问题

Question

I am doing a take-home assessment which requires me to 'npm i' a project into vscode and to code a solution. I have downloaded the repo successfully but I keep getting a very extensive error when I try to run 'npm i'.

The instructions say that I should be using Node.js version 14.x. I checked what version of node I have installed and I have node v16.13.1. I assume this should be fine? Or do I need to have the older version 14.x in order to install my dependencies succesfully?

I'm a bit new to coding so hopefully this question makes sense. Thank you!

Hey so from my experience, it can also cause errors if you have a version which is newer than the expected version.

To keep track of your node versions, which you have installed I can recommend:

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases

The first Solution works for linux,mac and wsl, the second is for windows only.
