  • you probably need to do npm install first. – ob2 Sep 21 '22 at 11:50
  • Sure I run npm install firstly – mstdmstd Sep 21 '22 at 12:22
  • I added my OS info – mstdmstd Sep 21 '22 at 12:24
  • I'd also update your system if you are online; if you refer https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/09/17/ubuntu-18-04-6-lts-released/ you'll see when 18.04.6 was released; with installed systems upgrading a ~week before the ISO release date which is what the release signifies. Your additional details just show you're behind on security fixes & patches. – guiverc Sep 21 '22 at 12:55
  • Do you mean that I have to upgrade to ubuntu 20? – mstdmstd Sep 21 '22 at 13:17
  • Ubuntu 18.04 will upgrade to 20.04, only 18 upgrades to 20 (the year (18) and year.month (18.04) represent different Ubuntu products. You say your system is 18.04.5 which means you're a year maybe more behind on security fixes; as a 18.04 system reported itself as 18.04.6 (not 18.04.5) back in September 2021. My prior comment was suggesting you check your system is fully-upgraded (either it isn't, or* your 18.04.5 detail was incorrect*!) – guiverc Sep 21 '22 at 14:07
  • That is not from my prior expierence. Could youi please show valid steps I have to take ? – mstdmstd Sep 21 '22 at 14:10

What does node -v give you?

I had the same error - due to an old version of node (v14.17.3) when the stable version as of now is v18.12.1

I resolved my issue by downloading the latest stable version from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
