Current behavior: Exception appears.

Expected behavior: No exception should appear

Steps to reproduce: rm -r node_modules rm package-lock.json npm i --legacy-peer-deps ng serve

Other information:

The error appears because angular cli currently only supports 4.2. or 4.3. but not 4.4.

@elupanov Thanks for your reply and merging PRs, & it is the best open-source theme available right now in Angular, so, it is widely used, & Nebular components are also Awesome, so it’s fine not to add new features actively here, but issues like these were blocking users in installing this, so these must be checked atleast weekly 😃 Also, add in the readme that “It will NOT work in Node-16” . It is working fine in NODE-14.18.2 , because node-sass version used in package.json is 4.14, which WILL NOT SUPPORT Node 15 & 16 (screenshot attached)

@vaibhavkumar-sf thanks for the hint I’ve added installation notes with required NodeJS version
