Latest node lts?

[kabir]

I don't know if this is desirable or not :-)

However, I am getting a lot of problems trying to run this with the indicated node version. A lot of the time nvm does not downgrade the npm version on my system (9.2.0) to the one I've been told the 16.6.2 should use or not.

It seems that npm 9.2.0 is stricter about the dependencies, resulting in errors running npm install like:

If the upgrade to node 18.15 is not wanted, I think it would make it more user friendly if the second commit removing the incompatible dependency was merged. I've tried npm run build and npm run start:dev on my side to verify, although I am not very familiar with the project :-)
