Error While trying to Compile Angular Application in node

Question

This is the error which occurs when I try to run ng serve --open for my app, And it also shows error while ng --version to check version it shows node 17 is not supported with this angular, but when I try to run another app that works but which I downloaded doesn't.

You could be running with the latest version of Node, which is not officially supported by Angular, yet. https://angular.io/guide/setup-local#prerequisites

Install the LTS version of Node instead and try again => https://nodejs.org/en/download/
