error:03000086:digital envelope routines::initialization error

[rickrain]

Describe the bug
Going through the tutorial on a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. When I got to the Serving Locally section, I ran npm run start and got the following error:

> [email protected] start
> webpack-dev-server

}

Node.js v18.2.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start at the beginning of the tutorial. Note: I already had the latest Rust tools installed, but I didn't have npm or Node.js. So, I followed the instructions to install those without any issues.
2. Proceed through the tutorial until you get to the Serving Locally section.
3. Run the command npm run start.
4. See error mentioned above.

Expected behavior
Expected it be served locally so I could browse to it.

Additional context
I found this stackoverflow answer and was able to resolve my issue using this suggested workaround:

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Just wanted to confirm that the solution @rickrain posted worked for me
