Error: yargs parser supports a minimum Node.js version of 12

maybe you need to update your Node.js version

If you’re running using systemd, you should follow this manual. Using systemd doesn’t require moving into the tools directory, instead you should git clone our CLI repository.

And the error above seems to be that your node.js version is below the recommended version. Make sure that you install or update to the LTS node.js version or higher. Node.js
