You need to upgrade your Node version to one of these (or higher)

• 20.19.0
• 22.12.0
• 23.4.0

@satya164 I changed every node version that you mentioned but still fail

@satya164 I changed every node version that you mentioned but still fail

if you're getting the same error then it means that is still using an old version of node
