I am using strapi v3

this is my package.json about strapi

“strapi-connector-bookshelf”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-plugin-content-manager”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-plugin-content-type-builder”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-plugin-documentation”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-plugin-email”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-plugin-graphql”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-plugin-upload”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-plugin-users-permissions”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-provider-upload-aws-s3”: “^3.6.10”,
“strapi-provider-upload-google-cloud-storage”: “3.6.8”,
“strapi-utils”: “3.6.8”

it worked well till now.

now i am working with new project.

so i need to set new backend with strapi v3.

but installation is not working now.

i used to install with node 14. now this error is showing up

error node-addon-api@8.0.0: The engine “node” is incompatible with this module. Expected version “^18 || ^20 || >= 21”. Got “14.21.2”

my opinion is that strapi v3 is using latest version of node-addon-api . that module needs more latest node (not node 14) after that module has updated.
(8.0.0 is the latest version of node-addon-api)

i tried:

  1. install after lower version of node-addon-api(4.1.0) is installed
    → not work

dose anyone have solution ?

thanks
