Problem in installation

[barakadax]

When I try to install:

npm install danfojs-node  

it's giving me back:

Hey, I had the same issue. Based on tensorflow/tfjs#7793, installing node v.18.16.1 should work.
I downloaded it from there https://nodejs.org/download/release/v18.16.1/ and installed it, now the installation is working.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks for your answer, for private projects this is helpful but on company solution I will get blocked in CI/CD because it will build on latest and will duplicate the issue, it will work only locally :(
