Angular only supports LTS versions of node (only the odd versions). So v19 is not supported. — Matthieu Riegler, Mar 03 '23 at 10:50

This error is because of NodeJS being v17 or later.

You will need to follow the following steps:

Uninstall your current NodeJS version
Install NodeJS v16 (https://nodejs.org/download/release/v16.19.1/)
Run Angular as usual

If you want to run it with NodeJS > v16 then upgrade your Angular application first to the latest version and install the current NodeJS LTS.

Set the following environment variable in the shell before running Angular CLI:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
