Shopify's node version is different to my local node version

[Francis_Kolms]

I'm running into issues with creating a new Shopify app in Node.js and it seems that the issue might be due to different node versions between my local machine and what Shopify CLI3 uses.

This is what I get when checking Shopify and local Node versions:

$ shopify --version
@shopify/cli/3.45.1 darwin-x64 node-v20.0.0

$ node -v
v16.15.0

How can I change the node version Shopify uses?

Installing Node 18.16.1 (latest stable version) resolved the issue with the install. I guess Shopify CLI3.45.1 is not compatible with Node below version 18.

I have Shopify CLI 3.49.7, I tried Node v18.16.1 as well as v18.0.0 but my Shopify still uses Node v16.19.0.

Have you updated the workflow file? You can specify the node version there for the production build at .github/workflows/oxygen-deploy-{YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_ID}.yml

I use Admin API (Node and React), not Storefront API, so I can't apply Oxygen config.
