Yet another error upon upgrade.

[Sampo2910]

Something happens every single time How can what I am guessing to be a small upgrade manage to produce this?

git reset --hard origin/v1.18.x

then ./nodebb upgrade

As per the instructions on the upgrade page and from the advice last time this happened. And: BOOM

Updating NodeBB...

1. Updating package.json file with defaults... OK

2. Bringing base dependencies up to date... started

Your version of npm does strict peer dependency checks because you're on a version of Node near than version 14, which is the latest that we currently support. You can downgrade npm with npm install --global npm@6 to fix this until we support it directly.

@pitaj said in Yet another error upon upgrade.:

npm install --global npm@6

That worked. Thanks as always
