Hi,

Source project: [samples-js-angular/okta-hosted-login at master · okta/samples-js-angular · GitHub](https://github.com/okta/samples-js-angular/tree/master/okta-hosted-login)

Believe I have all the dependencies in place (node/JS so who really ever knows? 🙂 ), getting the following (2nd error trace stack below) when I attempt the following angular server start cmd …

~/environment/samples-js-angular/okta-hosted-login (master) $ ng serve

This seems to be a Node.js v17 problem. I think this message explains it well. Maybe try v16?

I just tried v16 with our Okta CLI and Angular (`okta start angular`) and it seems to work fine.

If I try it with v17, it blows up:
