I'm trying to create a react project using vite but I'm getting an error while running
npm create vite@latest
I'm on a fresh new ubuntu, I've just created a directory, opened a terminal inside that directory then ran sudo apt install npm
followed by npm create vite@latest
but I'm getting this error:
What am I doing wrong? Since my setup is new have I forgotten to install something?
You're using a version of Node that vite@latest
(currently Vite 3.x) no longer supports. Vite 3 requires Node 14.18 or newer:
Node.js Support
Vite no longer supports Node.js 12 / 13 / 15, which reached its EOL. Node.js 14.18+ / 16+ is now required.
The solution is to install one of the supported Node versions on your machine, and retry the npm create vite@latest
command afterward.
