I had the latest working node.js which is 16.14.2 LTS. However when I tried to install material UI it threw errors.

Then I downgraded node.js to 14.17.3. Material UI didn’t throw errors. However at first, it said that the "npm WARN read-shrinkwrap This version of npm is compatible with lockfileVersion@1, but package-lock.json was generated for lockfileVersion@2. I'll try to do my best with it!"
and it was stuck at: remove:react-dev-utils: sill remove C:Usersnewaytwitter-clonenode_modulesreact-dev-utils during installation
So i exit and i tried to install again, same thing was happening and now it’s stuck at: remove:@babel/preset-env: sill remove C:Usersnewaytwitter-clonenode_modules@babelpreset-env
So I went into the package-lock.json and changed the lockfileversion from 2 to 1. It doesn’t throw the warning anymore but it’s still stuck. Another one it was stuck at is: remove:@material-ui/core: sill remove C:Usersnewaytwitter-clonenode_modules@material-uicore
How can i stop it from getting stuck during installation? Also, i’m using Visual Studio Code
