Build issues with node version 16

[tant...@umn.edu]

All,

Despite the stated requirements for node in the documentation ("Node.js (v16.x or v18.x)"), I am getting the following error when attempting to build the version 7.6.3 frontend:

$ yarn install
yarn install v1.22.22
[1/4] Resolving packages...
[2/4] Fetching packages...
error is...@5.1.22: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=18". Got "16.18.1"
error Found incompatible module.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command.

Is there any workaround for this, besides the obvious one of upgrading node (which will be extremely difficult in my environment)?

Regards,

~~Bill
