I am trying to install the packages from “vidly-api-node” folder provided in Mosh’s “Mastering React” course but I am getting some warnings/errors which inlcude:
“core-js@2.5.3: core-js@<3.23.3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Some versions have web compatibility issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.”
,
“node-pre-gyp@0.6.36: Please upgrade to @mapbox/node-pre-gyp: the non-scoped node-pre-gyp package is deprecated and only the @mapbox scoped package will recieve updates in the future

Is there a way to update the packages using any command or any help on how to handle this issue would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
So brother all I understand from your question is that you have outdated packages of npm and you wanna update them to the latest.
so there will be a few disadvantages of it that there might be a possibility that you will have multiple errors after the update because there would be a few functions that would be removed on the latest version or have been updated with the newer name.
To update the packages →
npm i -g npm-check-updatesnpm-check-updatesncu -unpm install
that’s it and all your outdated packages will be updated to the latest version.

I tried the steps above, this didn’t fix the problem. npm install doesn’t work on the vidly-api-node
I would recommend initializing a new node project with npm init and building a similar beginning package with updated dependencies.
Thanks Abbas! this fixed my issue. You’re the best
