Can't start c-lightning-REST as API server #180

I got stuck in running RTL after I upgrade my CLN to 23.05, so I removed and reinstalled c-lightning-REST and RTL. Even though, it still does not work from c-lightning-REST level.

This is the error message I got when I run node cl-rest.js:

error: WARN: /home/[USR]/.lightning/lightning-rpc is missing, using the bitcoin mainnet subdirectory at /home/[USR]/.lightning/bitcoin instead. /home/[USR]/.lightning/plugins-available/c-lightning-REST/utils/utils.js:3 const currentVersionArr = currentVersion.trim()?.replace('v', '').split('-')[0].split('.') || []; ^

It would be grateful if you let me know how to fix this.

This is the error related to incompatible version of nodejs. You need Nodejs >v16 to run c-lightning-rest and RTL.

Thanks for the solution! Now it is running well!
