npm install throwing the following error.

"Cannot find module 'fs/promises'"

Node Ver 12.*

This seems like an environment issue not related to this repo. Can you give your full node version?

[nandakola]

@daxsom
v12.22.5

[daxsom]

@nandakola
Odd, seems like that should be fine. v12.22.5 is LTS and should have fs/promises

https://nodejs.org/docs/v12.22.5/api/fs.html#fs_fs_promises_api

I'll spin up a VM and try to reproduce if someone doesn't have a better answer in the meantime.

Ok I reproduced

Readme shows

"Angular CLI & Electron Builder needs Node 14 or later to work correctly."

Not sure of the exact circumstances but looks like you will have to upgrade to Node 14+.
