The solution is mentioned in the picture you attached in your question. You can use nvm to update to a specific version of node. If you haven't already set up nvm, do so by running:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash

Load these changes by running:

source ~/.profile

Check nvm is correctly installed by running: nvm --version.

Now, you can install the latest or specific version of Node using nvm.

nvm install node      // Installs latest Node version
nvm install 14.17.0   // Installs version 14.17, change the version to what you want to install.

If you have multiple versions of node installed, you can select and use a particular one by running:

nvm use 14.17.0    // replace version to what you want to use.

Thanks i tried it but in my case it was even not recognizing nvm.. and giving me the suggestions .... — saima ali, Jul 27 '23 at 05:43
@saimaali it was probably not recognizing nvm because the changes you installed weren't being reflected on the current instance of the VS Code terminal. If you save your changes using `source ~/.profile` and open up a new terminal, It would work! — Safi50, Jul 28 '23 at 09:40

You just need to update your Nodejs and NPM.

to update your NPM you need to run the following commands:

npm install -g npm

and to install the latest version of node

nvm install node

you can also list all the versions in your system running:

nvm ls

to choose another one version use:

nvm use

This seems to be the problem with the version of npm package manager or NodeJS on your system.

First, try to update them to the latest stable release by running the following command:

npm install -g npm@latest

If running this install command still causes an error, which is highly unlikely.

You can use NVM

Use nvm. I encountered similar challenges using npm while setting up AGE Viewer. Installing the latest version of nvm updates node.

I have struggled with this error myself and all you have to do is use the node version manager and after installing nvm you have to restart the terminal to get the problem fixed.

While this error could be solved using multiple approaches as suggested above but the best way to solve it would be using nvm. Install Node Version Manager and then upgrade to the latest stable node version. You will have to install the latest node version first using nvm and then use the command nvm use {version} where version is the version you want to switch too. If it still does not work you can also try downgrading the node version.

The issue is with the node version manager. You need to install the latest version of node. For that, use this command:

nvm install node
