Node.js v17.5.0 [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

Answer 1

The latest release of Node.JS is what is causing this issue. In your package.json, make sure to set your engine to"engines": { "node": ">=0.12 < 17.5.0" } and you should be fine.

Solution which worked well for me:)

Step 01: Open your terminal and copy paste below command.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | zsh

Wait patiently until its done.

Step 02: sudo vim ./zshrc

Step 03: Press I for Insert Mode and copy paste below command. Must be same in three lines.

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"

then press ESC key :wq (write and quite).

Step 04: brew install nvm

step 05: nvm install node (which will download latest version node)

step 06: nvm ls-remote (which make all the version available)

step 07: nvm install 14 (An Example)

step 08: nvm use 14 (this make it as default version)
