Same issue here.
Nodejs version installed with termux is 16 but code-server expects 14...
Tried also with
--ignore-enginesflag set inyarnbut doesn't help much..AbdullahBinJahed commentedon Sep 23, 2021
i uninstalled nodejs and installed nodejs-lts by
pkg i nodejs-ltswhich is node 14 ... then yarn command worked and it did installed but can't download any extension on itjsjoeio commentedon Sep 23, 2021
Hmm...I think this is because we use
= 14in ourpackage.jsonhttps://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/package.json#L121-L122
@TeffenEllis should we change this to
>= 14?Vaitek commentedon Sep 23, 2021
Seems i have the same problem. After installing nodejs-lts and upgrading code-server any attempts to install extensions was finished with "extension because it is not compatible with the current version of VS Code (version 1.60.0)." message...

I think that's a different problem unfortunately. We need to investigate that further as well.

@Vaitek @AbdullahBinJahed I'm curious why you are installing from source, rather than using our install.sh script -- can you provide any details on that?
The binary builds include the version of Node.js that we build and test with, which should be a more seamless experience than building from source, especially with a version of Node.js (16) that we do not currently test with. Is it because of a processor architecture difference; are we missing builds to make things more compatible?
I think if you can use Node 14 (whether via nodejs-lts or from Nodesource), then that's a better solution, and we can (as a separate issue) help you debug the extension issue.

uhhh... what ? I didn't got most of it ...
installing from source ? I just typed
yarn global install code-server.what install.sh script ? i didn't even git clone it . Processor arch type ? well i'm using a armv7l 32 bit Android phone.
With node-lts it code-server does install but installing extensions doesn't work .. It just says code-server is old version and newer version is required
