Hi @dchmelik,

You're using Node 14, instead of the required Node 8: https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/MyCrypto/tree/1.7.11#development--build-requirements

nvm is typically the best way to manage multiple versions of Node, although it looks like there may be some issues installing on FreeBSD: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#important-notes

@mwbailey Are you aware if there is any plan to migrate to 12, the current LTS, or at the very least 10? node v8 is end-of-life and does not receive fixes since 2019-12-31.

@Legogris We are working on updating the legacy branch to Node v10. The beta app (master branch) is already running on Node v12, but there's no desktop application for it yet.
