Error message "error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported"

I created the default IntelliJ IDEA React project and got this:

```lang-none

It seems to be a recent issue - *[webpack ran into this 4 days ago and is still working on it][1]*.

In your package.json: change this line
```json
"start": "react-scripts start"
```
to
```json
"start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start"
```

The simplest and easiest solution to solve the above error is to downgrade Node.js to v14.18.1. And then just delete folder `node_modules` and try to rebuild your project and your error must be solved.

Try:

npm create react-app --template typescript foo --use-npm

I was facing the same issue with Node.js 17.0.1. I solved it by following these steps:

* Open *Control Panel* → *Program and Features* → *Node.js* and uninstall Node.js by right-clicking a

* Go to website *https://nodejs.org/en/* and download the version and install.

I found the commands below on GitHub:

For Windows, use the below command in cmd:

set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

For Unix, use:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

On Dockerfile you should add:

```Dockerfile
ENV NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
```

**This solution worked for me.**

This error is coming in Node.js version 17+, so try to downgrade the Node.js version.

1. Uninstall Node.js from the computer.
2. Download Node.js version 16 and install it again from *https://nodejs.org/download/release/v16.13.0/*

That's all.

It's the Node.js version.

I have this error on Node.js 17, but it's fine when I switch my Node.js version to an older version (16) by using `nvm`.

I faced this issue in Docker build, and I have added this line in the Docker file:

RUN export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && yarn build && yarn install --production --ignore-scripts --prefer-offline

For local development, add the switch in file *package.json*.
