Actual behavior
I created a new project using “npx create-electron-app@latest my-app”, but encountered an issue when running “npm start”. I have tried switching to the updated version using nvm, or uninstalling nodejs and reinstalling it. However, it still shows that the current version is 16.1.0. But in fact, there is no 16.1.0 in my nvm. Even when I switched to another computer, the problem remained the same. I actually installed the 18+ and 22+ versions of nodejs, and did switch the versions. I checked if the switch was successful by running "nodejs -v". However, when I ran "npm start" in the Forge project, it still showed an error:
my-app@1. 0. 0 start electron-forge start You are rumming Node. js version 16. 1.0, but Electron Forge requires Node. js >= 16.4. 0.
Steps to reproduce
1、create project
npx create-electron-app@latest my-app --template=vite-typescript
2、installation compete 3、cd my-app && npm start
my-app@1. 0. 0 start electron-forge start You are rumming Node. js version 16. 1.0, but Electron Forge requires Node. js >= 16.4. 0.
Additional information
No response
Can you paste the output of node -v and which node? (Important, not nodejs -v which you mentioned in the issue!)
