Hi, I just cloned the js-libp2p project and run npm install. Here’s the error

aegir build --no-bundle

Hey @wLRy

What node version you have? We are only compatible with Node14 or newer, given that it is the currently Active LTS and allows us to use new APIs that we could not use before

Indeed, I was with node v10.19.0

I installed v14.17.0 by running nvm install --lts and the build succeeds now. Thanks!
