The warnings indicate that the installed versions of Node.js and npm do not match the versions specified in the `engines` field of the Angular CLI and related packages. Here's a breakdown of the issue and how to resolve it:

### Issue:
1. **Node.js Version**: You're using Node.js `v21.7.3`, but the Angular CLI requires `^18.19.1 || ^20.11.1 || >=22.0.0`. Version 21 is not included in this range.
2. **npm Version**: You have npm `10.5.0`, which satisfies the requirement (`^6.11.0 || ^7.5.6 || >=8.0.0`), so no issues here.
3. **Yarn Version**: Yarn is not explicitly mentioned in your logs, but if needed, ensure it meets the required version `>=1.13.0`.

### Solutions:
#### Option 1: Downgrade Node.js to a Supported Version
Since Node.js 21 is not officially supported by Angular CLI, downgrade to one of the supported versions:
– **Recommended Versions**: `18.19.1` or `20.11.1`.
– Use a version manager like `nvm` to install and switch between Node.js versions:

nvm install 20.11.1
  nvm use 20.11.1

#### Option 2: Ignore Engine Warnings
If you still want to proceed with Node.js `21.7.3`, you can ignore these warnings, but note that it may cause compatibility issues:
– Use the `–engine-strict=false` flag:

npm install @angular/cli --engine-strict=false

#### Option 3: Use a Docker Container
Since you already have Docker in your setup, you can use an official Node.js Docker image with a compatible version:
1. Pull a supported Node.js image:

docker pull node:20.11.1

2. Run the Angular CLI installation inside the container:

docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD":/app -w /app node:20.11.1 bash

#### Option 4: Upgrade Node.js to 22
If possible, upgrade your Node.js version to `22.0.0` or higher, as it is also supported by Angular CLI.

### Additional Tips:
– Verify your Node.js version after changes:

node -v
  npm -v

– Always test your Angular application thoroughly after installing with an unsupported version to ensure stability.
