npm install errors

Question

How can I get rid of all these Errors I'm getting in my terminal while using 'npm install'?

I'm still able to run the application on my local port though.

Hi Alexander Stratev, I just tested this and I didn't get any of the errors. I downloaded the files from the first video. Opened them in VSCode. Ran npm ci to install. And no errors. If you follow that same process and get errors, I would recommend checking that you have the Latest Stable Version of Node and npm installed.

Robert Manolis I followed the steps in the video (downloaded the project files, opened them in VSC, cd practice-state, npm install) and I got A LOT of errors, just like Alexander Stratev said...

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.
