To resolve this error, when you run the development server, you should set the ‘NODE_OPTIONS’ to ‘–OpenSSL-legacy-provider.” You should first try these options, Below are the commands to try this solution.

# for Windows Git Bash, macOS or Linuxexport NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider# for Windows Command Prompt (CMD)set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider# for Windows PowerShell$env:NODE_OPTIONS="--openssl-legacy-provider"# for Docker (Add this line in your Dockerfile)ENV NODE_OPTIONS="--openssl-legacy-provider"

Make sure to execute the correct command according to the shell type.

You need to set this “–openssl-legacy-provider” as NODE_OPTIONS because after Node V17 you will get this error without set this setting. If settings NODE_OPTIONS solved your problem you don’t need to do other changes.
