In a terminal (OS X), simply downgrade like so:

sudo n 16.13.0

This worked for me in my app expo (downgrading from Node.js 17 to Node.js 12 or 14).

If you have nvm installed you can change the version of node:

First check versions of Node.js in nvm:

nvm list

Second, install version 12 or 14:

nvm install v12.22.8

Some top answers did not work.

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

And some top answers were not applicable, modifying package.json file:

"start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start"

This is caused by the latest node.js V17 compatible issues with OpenSSL, see this and this issue on GitHub.

The easiest thing is just downgrade from node.js V17 to node.js V16. See this post on how to downgrade node.js.

I have come across this issue today and have resolved it by switching Node.js version using "nvm".

I've been working on a couple of personal projects using Node.js, Next.js, and React... What often happens to me is that I don't remember exactly which version of Node.js do I use for which project.

And so usually I would try to use Node.js 16 for a project that is currently using Node.js 14 (I'm currently on Node.js 17).

I haven't figured out a better way to remember the version of Node.js for each project, so I usually would just save all commands that I need to run to get the application started in readme.MD.

This worked for me (downgrading from Node.js 17 to Node.js 16):

nvm install --lts
nvm use --lts

Using Node.js Version Manager (for Windows).

On Dockerfile you should add:

ENV NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

I was facing the same issue with Node.js 17.0.1. I solved it by following these steps:

• Open Control Panel → Program and Features → Node.js and uninstall Node.js by right-clicking a

• Go to website https://nodejs.org/en/ and download the version and install.

This solution worked for me.

This error is coming in Node.js version 17+, so try to downgrade the Node.js version.

1. Uninstall Node.js from the computer.
2. Download Node.js version 16 and install it again from https://nodejs.org/download/release/v16.13.0/

That's all.

Failed to construct transformer: Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

The simplest and easiest solution to solve the above error is to downgrade Node.js to v14.18.1. And then just delete folder node_modules and try to rebuild your project and your error must be solved.

Here is two option now -

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

2. Open terminal and paste these as described :

Linux & Mac OS (windows git bash)-

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Windows command prompt-

set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Reference link.

In your package.json: change this line

"start": "react-scripts start"

to

"start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start"

I faced this issue in Docker build, and I have added this line in the Docker file:

RUN export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && yarn build && yarn install --production --ignore-scripts --prefer-offline

For local development, add the switch in file package.json.

If we use the current LTS version of Node.js then this error will not come. Downgrade your Node.js version to the current LTS version (16.13.0).

There can be multiple ways to install the required version. One of them is using nvm (Node.js version manager).

• Step 1: Install nvm (if not installed, follow Install Node.js Locally with Node Version Manager (nvm))

• Step 2: nvm install 16.13.0 (or lts)

I found the commands below on GitHub:

For Windows, use the below command in cmd:

set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

For Unix, use:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

It's the Node.js version.

I have this error on Node.js 17, but it's fine when I switch my Node.js version to an older version (16) by using nvm.

Try:

npm create react-app --template typescript foo --use-npm

If you are facing this error and you do not want to change your main configuration, an easy fix would be to use the following approach. I am not sure if it is recommended as a good practice, though.

Feel free to correct it.

Initially, let’s say this is the scripts section of my package.json file:

...
"version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "build": "npm run build:test-app:testing",
    "build:test-app:testing": "ng build test-app --deploy-url  https://test-app.com/ --configuration=test-config",
    ...
  },
  "private": true,
...

In order to use this export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider you can do the following:

"version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
....
    "build": "NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider npm run build:test-app:testing”,
    "build:test-app:testing": "NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider ng build test-app --deploy-url  https://test-app.com/ --configuration=test-config"
...
  },
  "private": true,

Take note of the build scripts. I have added an option: NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

This helps solve this error in Node.js version 17.

For those with the flexibility of changing the build system's Node.js version, just switch to a version lower that 17, e.g., version 16.

For Docker, the use case of using this initially, which always pulls the latest version:

...
FROM node:alpine
...

You can switch to something like:

...
FROM node:16-alpine3.12
...

check

node -v
v17.4.0

then roll back to node --lts (node v16.13.2 (npm v8.1.2)) for that use nvm

official install nvm

for bash shell

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

for zsh shell

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | zsh

after nvm install

nvm install --lts

check

 node -v 

v16.13.2

retry again

Go to:: https://nodejs.org/en/

And download the recommended version for most users.

Then uninstall Node.js from your PC and install the recommended version.

From what I understand, this is a problem from the developer team. They will fix it ASAP, but in the meantime use the recommended version and everything is going to be OK.

fixed by using lts

echo "lts" > .nvmrc
nvm install

In Angular.io projects, the accepted (unsupported) version of Nodes.js is v16.x.x.

In Nodes v17.x version, the same error described in this question occurs.

Solution:

Uninstall nodes and reinstall version v16.x (for Windows).

You need to update react-scripts to the latest version

npm update react-scripts --save

If you are getting this error while using GatsbyJs, all you need to do is downgrade the node version to long-term support. There is no other salvation

If you're using react-scripts you can now simply upgrade to version 5.0.0 (or above) which seems to have addressed this issue (it includes a newer version of webpack).
