How do I fix tailwindcss-cli from throwing TypeError: Object.fromEntries is not a function?

Question

I've been following Tailwind's tutorials and when. I get to the part of the tutorial where they ask me to run npx tailwindcss-cli build css/tailwind.css -o build/tailwind.css, I get the following error. How do I solve this?

            ^

I've tried deleting npm, updating npm, removing my package-lock and node modules and restarting, and adding -i. all to no prevail. As is made apparent from the youtube series I linked, I'm just learning tailwind, so I'm sure it's a super stupid mistake.

The issue originated from your node version. Please try this:

sudo npm i -g n

Than inside your project folder

n latest

after that close your current terminal, since it will remember the old node location, open a new one and it should be fixed.
