">npm i " is giving error for the "vidly-api-node" folder from "Mastering React" curse

I am trying to add the backend for “vidly”, so I added the “vidly-api-node” folder in the repository. But now, when I change directory to go to the “vidly-api-node” folder and run “npm i”, I am getting errors like
"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3.23.3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues.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.
Then when I do “>npm seed.js”, it gives me the following error:
"Error: Cannot find module ‘mongoose’

    Can someone help me fix this? Otherwise, I am unable to proceed with the course. Help would be highly appreciated. Thanks,

I have the same issue

I’m also having this issue.

@Aloysius - Can you please refresh me what Course lesson section and number this was for. I’ve progressed passed it but if I found a way around this, I may have forgotten to reply.
