installation - Installing Node.js 15.5.1 (latest version) results in error

Question

I tried to install Node js 15.5.1 (latest version) and this error occurred:

(node:13440) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.allocUnsafe() instead

I downloaded the installer at https://nodejs.org/en/, I followed the installer's steps and marked the option to add the node references to the machine's path, however after a few minutes the installation stopped and sent me above error.

Related to js I have the Code Runner extension in Visual Studio Code, but otherwise nothing. My operating system is Windows.

Answer 1

The Node installer js managed to fix the error. I went to the installer again and clicked on the "Repair" option, shortly after at the command prompt I used node --version and everything is fine.
