Nodejs version mismatch during deployment

[Uri3lArchangel]

Hi, so i deployed a nextjs project from my github and i kept getting this error
"error manzo-next@1.0.0: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "18.0.0". Got "18.12.1""
now my package.json file has the following ;

{
"name": "manzo-next",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"dev": "next dev",
"build": "next build",
"start": "next start -p $PORT",

Please i need to know where 8.12.1 is coming from because i have also configured my project settings to run with node 18.X.X

The 18.12.1 is most likely coming from the environment provider, like Vercel for example gives 16.x.x and 18.x.x IIRC, https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/serverless-functions/runtimes/node-js:

I think, you need to loosen up the engines declaration in your package.json:

{
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=18.0.0"
  }
}

So that anything that's above 18.0.0, inclusive, is allowed.
