I tried to install it also in ubuntu 24.04 but same output.

The procedure that i followed was same as the documentation indicates

1. git clone https://github.com/mitre/caldera.git --recursive --branch 5.0.0
2. cd caldera/ and pip3 install -r requirements.txt
3. apt install npm nodejs
4. python3 server.py --insecure --build

Does anyone else have the same issue ?
Thanks in advance,

Looks like your first issue -- we aim to respond to issues as quickly as possible. In the meantime, check out our documentation here: http://caldera.readthedocs.io/

Assuming you're installing nodejs using the out-of-the-box APT repositories for that version of ubuntu, you're likely going to end up with version 12. You'll want as least version 16

Here's what I did on a local Ubuntu 22.04 VM to get version 18 of nodejs:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs

Then you can run nodejs -v to confirm the version. For me, I get v18.20.4

Then you can try building and running caldera as before

thank you , i deployed a new vm and i installed the correct nodejs which now is
$node -v
v20.18.0

It seems now that server being built without the the former issues,
But now i have the same issue as #3064 so i will follow the conversation there.
Thanks a lot.
