How to fix Laravel npm install and npm build errors

In your Laravel application, if you are using features such as Vite where you build assets, it may require a newer version of Node.js than your account has by default. You may experience errors such as:

npm WARN notsup Unsupported engine for laravel-vite-plugin@3.1.0: wanted: {"node":"^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0"} (current: {"node":"10.24.0","npm":"6.14.11"})

You can fix that by overriding the default node and npm versions to a supported version on your account by following our guide: How to set default Node.js, npm, and npx version in SSH
