Error while compiling with Laravel Mix - Vue - php

Question

I've been using Laravel 8 beside Vue Js and they worked well together. I tried to start a project with Laravel and Vue Js again, but after a week it gave me an error. I used the commands below:
Laravel v8.26.1 (PHP v7.4.3)
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel <project_name>
It works fine, after that:
npm install
Works well, too
But here's the error when I try running npm run dev
npm run dev
> # dev <project_path>
> npm run development
> # development <project_path>
> mix

You have to upgrade your node so try these commands:
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
check node version by:
sudo node -v
it must show something like v14.*
You may need to restart your terminal to see the updated node version.
And then do npm run dev
