Fuxa installation on linux with node v14.21.3 fail

[2veinte]

Hi, I've been trying to make the communication with PLC Siemens S7 work, according to the readme.md file, there are some problems with node v16.20.2 || v18.18.2, so i try using node v14.21.3 to install FUXA.
When I attempt to install Fuxa (v1.2.6-2411), I receive this error message.

Can someone help me sort this, or should I try a prior version of Fuxa?

@2veinte Fuxa is now using Angular 16 which requires minimum of node v16, have you tried with v16 or 18? Have you checked if there are any updates the node-s7 package?

In the past I have just setup an OPC-UA server on the s7-1200 and that works well. Maybe give that a go?
