I'm trying to learn how to use SPFx, however I'm falling down at the first step when it comes to running yo @microsoft/sharepoint.
I get the following error when running yo @microsoft/sharepoint:
Error @microsoft/sharepoint
You don't seem to have a generator with the name “@microsoft/sharepoint” installed.
But help is on the way:
You can see available generators via npm search yeoman-generator or via http://yeoman.io/generators/.
Install them with npm install @microsoft/generator-sharepoint.
To see all your installed generators run yo --generators. Adding the --help option will also show subgenerators.
If yo cannot find the generator, run yo doctor to troubleshoot your system.
I have tried running npm install @microsoft/generator-sharepoint -g however this does not resolve the above error. It's also worth noting that I get a bunch of errors when running the install generator command:

Could anyone please help troubleshoot this with me? I'm not sure what is causing the issues with the @microsoft/sharepoint generator install, but something is seemingly preventing it from installing properly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Alex.
Turns out the issue is that I was using the latest version of Node.js (v16.13.0) when I needed to be using a supported version (v14.15.0)
