npm install after homestead re-install

Hi

I have re-installed Homestead and it runs on vagrant box v 9.7.2

when I create a new laravel project like this:

laravel new test

cd test

composer require laravel/ui

php artisan ui --auth bootstrap

npm install && npm run dev

then npm fails:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Chokidar 2 will break on node v14+. Upgrade to chokidar 3 with 15x less dependencies. npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: fsevents 1 will break on node v14+ and could be using insecure binaries.

it say that a 'file is not found' but how can that be during installation

I have other projects on the same homestead, and they work fine.
