How to install to latest node version on command prompt or powershell

Question

I am trying to edit a BigCommerce theme using stencilLint. When I type the command:


PS C:\Users\joaom\OneDrive\Desktop\shelfology\cornerstone> stencil init

I get:


PS C:\Users\joaom\OneDrive\Desktop\shelfology\cornerstone> stencil init
C:\Users\joaom\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@bigcommerce\stencil-cli\lib\cliCommon.js:47
        throw new Error(
        ^

    at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:47
PS C:\Users\joaom\OneDrive\Desktop\shelfology\cornerstone>

Which is leaving me very confused. I downloaded the latest version of Node from nodejs.org directly, and it still prompts me to get the latest version. Do I have to do this through the command prompt? what would be the command? or what else am I doing wrong?

I installed it. When I type "node -v" I get "14.15.3", which is the latest version, which is why I am confused when it says I need to update it. — Joao, Dec 19 '20 at 20:45
Make sure you installed Node.js globally, which means if you type `node -v` in root directory, you get same result. — Mostafa Fakhraei, Dec 20 '20 at 06:30

According to the documentation available here bigcommerce/stencil-cli. Stencil-cli only supports node version 10.x or 12.x. so if you have any other node version switch to either 10 or 12.
