node.js - The engine "node" is incompatible with this module

Question

I am getting below yarn error when deploying to AWS

error [email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=6 <7 || >=8". Got "7.0.0"

Any idea how will this be resolved?

Will this work out if I specify engine in package.json

{ 
  "engines" : { 
    "node" : ">=8.0.0" 
  }
}

You can try to ignore the engines :

$ yarn install --ignore-engines

OR

$ yarn global add <your app> --ignore-engines

You can see all what you can ignore by running:

$ yarn help | grep -- --ignore

--ignore-scripts     don't run lifecycle scripts
--ignore-platform    ignore platform checks
--ignore-engines     ignore engines check
--ignore-optional    ignore optional dependencies
