Shopify CLI App Creation Error

[tomadelaney]

Trying to create apps with latest Shopify CLI ( 3.61.2)

npm init @Shopify/app@latest

...

Receive this error:

Command failed with exit code 1: npm install

npm error code EBADENGINE

npm error engine Unsupported engine

npm error engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: undefined

npm error notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: undefined

npm error notsup Required: {"node":"^18.20 || ^20.10 || ^22"}

npm error notsup Actual:   {"npm":"10.8.1","node":"v20.6.0"}

Yet I am running a valid version of node.

Same results with older mac OS11 with Darwin64 && with new Macbook w/ ARM64.

Earlier versions of CLI worked fine.

Thoughts on what I need to look into would be most appreciated.

I am having the same issue when trying to create an app via shopify CLI

Error coming from `npm install`

Command failed with exit code 1: npm install
npm ERR! code EBADENGINE
npm ERR! engine Unsupported engine
npm ERR! engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: undefined
npm ERR! notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: undefined
npm ERR! notsup Required: {"node":"^18.20 || ^20.10 || >=21.0.0"}
npm ERR! notsup Actual: {"npm":"9.3.1","node":"v18.14.0"}

Any suggestions how this can be fixed?

Ivakaraivanska,
In my case, I was able to resolve the issue by
1) Deleting all versions of node
2) Reinstalling nvm
3) Deleting node_modules directory (and your lock file for your installer)  
      -- in my case, I did have an invalid node version there; you may have portions of invalid node v18.14.0 persisting
4) Installing node v22.3.0

5) Following the shopify remix quickstart instrucrtions
https://shopify.dev/docs/api/shopify-app-remix
==>  npm init @Shopify/app@latest

Good luck!
