Quick start guide - npm install & npm start errors?

Developers

Hello,

I’m trying to deploy my hello world app from Dfinity quick start guide. Both ‘npm install’ and ‘npm start’ is giving me an error & I can’t really progress to the next steps. Any idea why the terminal is returning these errors? I am using Windows 10 + WSL2 + Ubuntu 20.04 LTS build.

Screenshot attached for your reference - thanks for your help!

dfx new skips the frontend portion if you do not have node.js installed. Please install node.js in your linux subsystem and try again. We recommend Node 14 or 16 for IC development
