Open your encoding.js folder in node_modules>whatwg-url>dist
and write this code
"use strict";
var util= require('util');
const utf8Encoder = new util.TextEncoder();
const utf8Decoder = new util.TextDecoder("utf-8", { ignoreBOM: true });
in place of
"use strict";
const utf8Encoder = new TextEncoder();
const utf8Decoder = new TextDecoder("utf-8", { ignoreBOM: true });
all you where missing is this small part by including utils
var util= require('util');
const utf8Encoder = new util.TextEncoder();
const utf8Decoder = new util.TextEncoder("utf-8", { ignoreBOM: true });

Open your encoding.js folder in node_modules
- Open the node_modules
- Locate the whawg-url folder and open.
- Search for dist folder - there, you'd find the encoding.js folder
- Open via VS Code or any IDE of your choice.
Replace these line of code
"use strict";
const utf8Encoder = new TextEncoder();
const utf8Decoder = new TextDecoder("utf-8", { ignoreBOM: true });
With this --
"use strict";
var util= require('util');
const utf8Encoder = new util.TextEncoder();
const utf8Decoder = new util.TextDecoder("utf-8", { ignoreBOM: true });
Then you are good to go.

This seems to be an issue with older node versions. You need to use the latest node. If you are using nvm type
nvm use node
Note: to download latest node with nvm use this command
nvm install --lts
