I was also facing the same issue while installing. But when I changed the react start command from "start": "react-scripts start" to "start": "react-scripts --openssl-legacy-provider start", it started working for me.

Absolutely, I managed to resolve the issue using the same solution. However, for newcomers setting up the repository, this might not offer the smooth developer experience we aim for. I'm eager to take on this issue and enhance the documentation/script to provide a more seamless on-boarding process.

Expected Fix- Either specify a node version for the build or update the script to provide backward compatibility using openssl flag to resolve the issue.
