Error running npm install on fresh clone

[epietrowicz]

I'm running into an error thrown by the Kerberos package when running a fresh install.

Node version v16.13.0

Steps to reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server-example.git
cd parse-server-example
npm install

Output:

I found this issue where it was instructed to reference the node version compatibility table in the Parse-Server project. However, I can re-create when using explicitly supported versions 16, 17, and 18.

Node version 12.12.0 fixes the install error. Is there a migration guide to a more updated server example?

[mtrezza]

I am not aware of any migration guide for Parse Server example.

I think the example needs a slight upgrade to a newer Parse Server version, it should work out of the box as you expected. I've opened #417 if you are interested to tackle this.

I'm closing this as it does not seem to be a Parse Server Example issue.
