yarn global add @vue/cli is failing for node 14 due to inquirer/external-editor #1809

yarn global add @vue/cli is failing for node 14 due to inquirer/external-editor because inquirer/external-editor wants node 18

The installation of @vue/cli was working fine a week ago with version 5.0.8, but it suddenly started failing due to @inquirer/external-editor

how to resolve this

It looks like the issue comes from @inquirer/external-editor which bumped the Node engine requirement to v18, so yarn global add @vue/cli will fail on Node 14.
You have three options:
Upgrade your Node.js to v18+ (recommended, since Vue CLI is not really maintained for older Node versions anymore).
Stick to the last working version:

yarn global add @vue/[email protected]

Consider switching to the new official scaffolding tool:

 npm init vue@latest

This is the recommended way moving forward instead of Vue CLI.
For me i use npm
