How to fix Error: recursive option not supported in this Node.js version in Node.js

# Check Node.js version
node --version

# Or
node -v

# Install nvm if not already installed
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash

# Reload shell configuration
source ~/.bashrc

# List available Node.js versions
nvm list-remote

# Install the latest LTS version
nvm install --lts

# Or install a specific version
nvm install 18.0.0

# Set default version
nvm alias default 18.0.0

# Switch to the new version
nvm use 18.0.0

# Verify installation
node --version

nvm install 18.0.0
nvm use 18.0.0
node --version

brew install node
# Or upgrade
brew upgrade node

FROM node:8
# or
FROM node:9

FROM node:18-alpine
# or for more features
FROM node:18-slim
# or latest stable
FROM node:20-alpine

docker build -t myapp:latest .
docker run myapp:latest

- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
  with:
    node-version: '18'

image: node:18-alpine

stages:
  - build

build:
  script:
    - npm install
    - npm run build

language: node_js
node_js:
  - "18"

# Create or update .nvmrc in your project root
echo "18.0.0" > .nvmrc

# Then developers can use
nvm use
# Or with nvm on first time
nvm install < .nvmrc
nvm use < .nvmrc

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

// Polyfill for older Node.js versions
function mkdirRecursive(dirPath) {
  if (fs.existsSync(dirPath)) {
    return;
  }

  const parentPath = path.dirname(dirPath);
  if (!fs.existsSync(parentPath)) {
    mkdirRecursive(parentPath);
  }

  fs.mkdirSync(dirPath);
}

// Usage
mkdirRecursive('./path/to/nested/dir');

const mkdirp = require('mkdirp');

mkdirp('./path/to/nested/dir').then(made => {
  console.log('Created', made);
});

npm install mkdirp
