Support

Version: v2.12.18
OS: Linux (Ubuntu)

I am trying to setup app-clipper on my system, but I'm getting an error (the CLI and desktop apps work without error). The error occurs when I run npm run watch at /packages/app-clipper/popup
The error thrown is:

⠋ Start webpack watchnode:internal/crypto/hash:69
  this[kHandle] = new _Hash(algorithm, xofLen);
                  ^

I've tried it yesterday and it works for me, but I use Node 19. Maybe try with this?

Thank you! While I could not export NODE_OPTIONS globally (gives an error saying node: --openssl-legacy-providerSet is not allowed in NODE_OPTIONS, I added node-options="--openssl-legacy-provider" in a .npmrc file in the packages/app-clipper/popup folder, and the clipper started without error!
