Cannot find module 'node:events' error thrown when running discord bot

Here is my basic source code, I'm just trying to get the bot online:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.once('ready', ()=> {
    console.log('Bot is online')
});

client.login('token');

When I run the program it throws an error:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:883
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'node:events'

I'm currently have node 17.0.0, and using Eclipse. Node is in my path environment. My package JSON file is:

{
  "name": "discordbot",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "main.js",
  "scripts": {
   "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
 },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "discord.js": "^13.2.0",
    "node": "^17.0.0"
 }
}

I have looked at similar issues and none of the answers seemed to have fixed the issue. Discord says that v 16.10.0 or higher will work. Thanks for your time.

In order to upgrade node you need to install it globally, not just within the current package. Typically this is done by downloading the installer, or by using your preferred package manager.
