I am new to open source so I don’t have much idea about rocket.chat setup. I cloned the repo [GitHub - RocketChat/Rocket.Chat: The communications platform that puts data protection first.](https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat) locally. Then I run “yarn”. Error it showed - The current Node version v16.18.0 does not satisfy the required version 14.19.3. So I changed node version to 14.19.3. Then it is giving such errors… My node version is 6.14.17 ```auto Resolution step ➤ YN0002: │ @devtools-ds/themes@npm:1.2.0 [3bace] doesn't provide react-dom (p719a9), requested by @design-systems/utils ➤ YN0002: │ @devtools-ds/themes@npm:1.2.0 [d8aa9] doesn't provide react-dom (p788f9), requested by @design-systems/utils ➤ YN0002: │ @nivo/annotations@npm:0.79.1 [60a9b] doesn't provide prop-types (p26311), requested by @nivo/colors ➤ YN0002: │ @nivo/annotations@npm:0.79.1 [60a9b] doesn't provide react-dom (p76851), requested by @react-spring/web ➤ YN0002: │ @nivo/arcs@npm:0.79.1 [aaf44] doesn't provide prop-types (p3b7ae), requested by @nivo/colors ➤ YN0002: │ @nivo/arcs@npm:0.79.1 [aaf44] doesn't provide react-dom (p2be04), requested by @react-spring/web ``` ---

Hi there! And welcome to our friendly community 🙂 You should only clone Rocket.Chat repository if you want to contribute with code directly into Rocket.Chat core. if you only want to run it locally for your company/organization, please, follow this path here: > **[Docker & Docker Compose](https://docs.rocket.chat/quick-start/deploying-rocket.chat/rapid-deployment-methods/docker-and-docker-compose)** You will run Rocket.Chat using Docker. Let me know if this helps 🙂 ---

Hello both, I’m having the same kinds of issues on macOs. In my case, I am actually aiming at modifying & experimenting with the code directly, so being able to build it would be quite important 🙂 @dudanogueira any advice on what the issue might be ? Have an excellent end of the weekend! ---
