It likely means you have an older version of node or npm. Upgrade to the latest npm with:

sudo npm install -g npm@latest

and upgrade node to the latest version with (credit: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/installation-of-node-js-on-linux/):

sudo apt install python3-software-properties software-properties-common -y
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs -y
