Which version of NodeJS and npm do you recommend to use?

Hi, i am just trying to set up an environment for Commerce Cloud development. And during installation of this package i have a lot of warnings and errors like:

npm WARN config global --global, --local are deprecated. Use --location=global instead. npm WARN old lockfile npm WARN old lockfile The package-lock.json file was created with an old version of npm, npm WARN old lockfile so supplemental metadata must be fetched from the registry. npm WARN old lockfile

npm ERR! code 1 npm ERR! path C:\Users\dsachm01\Documents\SFRA_projects\test3\storefront-reference-architecture\node_modules\node-sass npm ERR! command failed

I am using NodeJS - v16.15.1

Do you have any idea how to fix it? Maybe another version of NodeJS? Thank you!

I think this isn't so much an sfcc-ci question as it is a question for SFRA and other plugins / cartridges / etc.

As of right now, SFRA uses an older version of node-sass that is only documented to work with node 12; You can see here that SFRA is using 12.21 for their own testing: https://github.com/SalesforceCommerceCloud/storefront-reference-architecture/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml#L9
