Upgrade npm for the MDK UI monorepo

The MDK UI monorepo (mdk-ui) declares engines.npm >=11.0.0 and pins packageManager to npm@11.12.0. Node 22 LTS often bundles npm 10.9.x, so npm install at the repo root can fail with an engine warning before you clone, build, or run the demo.

Check your npm version

npm -v

If the major version is 10 (for example 10.9.4), upgrade before running npm install at the monorepo root.

Upgrade npm

Pick one approach.

Option A — global npm 11 (simplest)

npm install -g npm@11
npm -v

Option B — Corepack (match upstream packageManager)

corepack enable
corepack prepare npm@11.12.0 --activate
npm -v

You should see 11.x (Option B targets 11.12.0).

Retry at the monorepo root

cd /path/to/mdk-ui
npm install
npm run build
