To fix the error, use the command
NODE_OPTIONS='--openssl-legacy-provider' gridsome develop
To make it permanent, you can edit the package.json file in the root directory of your gridsome project
Find
"develop": "gridsome develop",
Replace with
"develop": "NODE_OPTIONS='--openssl-legacy-provider' gridsome develop",
Now use
yarn develop
Or
npm run develop
Instead of the “gridsome develop” command.
Back to Node.js
