OpenMCT gives problems when added as dependency

[gallacci97]

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a new node project based on OpenMCT. When I type the command to add it as dependency it gives me back al lot of errors referring to modules which are deprecated or not used anymore as you can see below. Did you encountered the same problem? Do you know how can I solve it?
My guess is that my npm and/or node versions are too new and maybe I have to use older versions but I prefer not to.

Hi, have you tried building with our pre-built npm package - https://www.npmjs.com/package/openmct ?

[gallacci97]

Thank you for your response.
During these days I tried different version of node from 8 to 16 with different openmct branches and I manage to install it on a ubuntu machine but on windows still no success (for corporate reasons I need it on win10).
In fact I didn't know about the npm package but I still get a similar error typing "npm install openmct" or "npm i openmct".
I attach here my last try.

Hello @gallacci97 I see you were using node 14... I believe that SHOULD work, but we do know node 12 is working if you want to try that as well.

Hi @jvigliotta, sorry for the late reply. After some trial and error I managed to install it successfully with node 12. Thank you!
