npm run setup fails

[MichaelSel]

Description

npm run setup fails with npm v8.10.0 and node v18.1.0
Instead, it yields a ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree error.

Running it with the --legacy-peer-deps flag produces

npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for [email protected]. 

Steps to reproduce

On a windows machine (perhaps on other operating systems as well) typing npm run setup into terminal results in an error.

Expected behavior
The initial setup of the project should execute

Screenshots

Versions

• React-Boilerplate: 4.0.0
• Node/NPM: v18.1.0 / v8.10.0
• Browser: N/A

Downgrading to Node v16.15.0

In package.json I added the --legacy-peer-deps flag to "presetup": "npm i chalk shelljs"
I added the same flag in /internals/scripts/setup after npm install
Finally, back in package.json I added

NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider to the start script.

This solves it for me.

reinstall node or clean the catches
npm cache clean --force

and then npm add --legacy-peer-deps
