  Source nodejs 17: digital envelope routines::unsupported · Issue #14532 · webpack/webpack (github.com)

Solution

Workaround

• Windows

//Command Line 
set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

//Powershell
$env:NODE_OPTIONS = "--openssl-legacy-provider"

• Linux

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Permanent
