I'm trying to build tauri app on Ubuntu 16.4.7 (LTS) by official documentation and after sudo npm run tauri dev or sudo npm run tauri build command i have many errors. Log file:

25 error Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.
25 error If you do, this is most likely a problem with the tauri-app package,
25 error not with npm itself.
25 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
25 error tauri "dev"
25 error You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
25 error npm bugs tauri-app
25 error Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:
25 error npm owner ls tauri-app
25 error There is likely additional logging output above.
26 verbose exit [ 1, true ]
It works on windows
node --version -> 17.8.0
npm --version -> 8.5.5
Solution
Update node and npm to the latest version. If you have the latest version of node and npm, check whether the same version is getting picked by tauri. When one has multiple node version, we have to specify the version to use.
Steps :
nvm use 18.16.1
sudo npm run tauri dev
nvm is a node version manager. Used to hop between multiple node versions.
