For reference, the docs Manuel is referring to show that you need to upgrade your version of Node.js to (preferably) Node.js 14.
These docs are current for Cypress v10.10.0.
Node.js 12+ support
Cypress comes bundled with its own Node.js version. However, installing the cypress npm package uses the Node.js version installed on your system.
Node.js 10 reached its end of life on Dec 31, 2019 and Node.js 13 reached its end of life on June 1, 2019. See Node's release schedule. These Node.js versions will no longer be supported when installing Cypress. The minimum Node.js version supported to install Cypress is Node.js 12 or Node.js 14+.
