I can't use yarn because it's not on the VPS & i can't install it, can anyone help me ?

i'm using Planethost hoster "The World" isolated vps

Thanks you in advance

Solution

I see that your node version is 14.17.3, but Strapi needs:

  ...
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=14.19.1 <=16.x.x",
    "npm": ">=6.0.0"
  }

From: https://github.com/strapi/strapi/blob/master/package.json.

While you're at it, I'd suggest using Node v16.x
