I get this error when i switched to node v18

Solution

Here are two options now -

Try to uninstall Node.js version 17+ and reinstall Node.js version 16+

You can re-install the current LTS Node.js version from their Official site. Or more specific downloads from here;

You can use NVM (Node Version Manager)

Linux and Mac users can use this nvm package link
Windows users can use this nvm package link

Open a terminal and paste these as described:

Linux and macOS (Windows Git Bash)-

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Windows command prompt-

set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Windows PowerShell-

$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--openssl-legacy-provider"
