What I tried

solution
An error occurred because the version of node is different.
The goal is to match the node version and make sure the server starts up.
Solution flow
- Node version check
- Remove / reinstall to downgrade node
- Node version check
- If the installed node is not reflected, put it in the PATH
- Install Webpacker
- If you get an error that yarn is needed, yarn install
- Install Webpacker again
- Start the server and check
