What Node version I should use to run the app locally

[mahesh-gunjal]

I have tried several node versions but none of them worked for me.
I am getting confusing errors:
@alifd/[email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "8". Got "18.17.1"
and If I use version 8 still getting new error:
[email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=12". Got "8.17.0"
can anyone help me with this ?
