Problem at "yarn install" about grafana-websocket-plugin

What version of node are you using?

$ node -v
v17.3.0

I had to use nvm to update my node version on 20.04 in order to get our docs repo to build properly. I suspect that process also made building this repo possible. Here's a guide I found on using nvm:

Ok @szczys solution above worked for me. make sure you have the correct node version
@beriberikix you're right, I need to unlearn my sudo apt install.. muscle memory and RTFM haha

$ node -v v10.19.0

I just installed with $sudo apt install npm so I guess that's the default from the ubuntu sources which do always seem to be out of date!
Thanks @szczys I'll give nvm a try and see how far I get

Ah, good 'ol APT. A lot of Node tutorials recommend installing from a third-party repo, including the official node docs. I think it's because they want to push people to Snap, which is maintained.

It's to be expected - I do the same when I set up a new Pi! If we want to get into details here or in the docs, we might want to consider adding a note.
