Fix Nodejs ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED

I had this problem too. I'd accidentally been running on the latest Node.js (17.0 at time of writing), not the LTS version (14.18) which I'd meant to install. Downgrading my Node.js install to the LTS version fixed the problem for me.

Then I:

• Uninstall my current NodeJS node-v18.12.1-x64.msi
• Delete npm folder in AppData\Roaming\npm
• Install NodeJs 16 node-v16.13.0-x64.msi

YOU MUST INSTALL NodeJs 16 to fix ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTED, i haven't found another way, if you have another way please comment just me. Thank you

Well, everything is Ok again 😊
