Please update to Node >=14 and npm >=6. But I have higher versions

I just created a react app using create-react-app and I get the following message:

Note: the project was bootstrapped with an old unsupported version of tools.
Please update to Node >=14 and npm >=6 to get supported tools in new projects.

But I have node version 16.16.0 and npm version 8.10.0. So what does it mean? Am I OK?

PS: I don't know if it's relevant, but I am on Ubuntu 20.04LTS.

Solution

  • You can delete both node_modules and package-lock.json

    run npm i web-vitals --save-dev
run npm install

    and then you can use npm run build and npm start again.

    If these don't work, you can try

    yarn cache clean
yarn install

    and then npx create-react-app your-app. Hope it helps!
