Opensearch Dashboards 3.0 wont start

OpenSearch Dashboards

Tried both the tarball and the rpm installation on centos 7 - (I know its EOL)

Tarball:

# node/bin/node src/cli/dist

Both RPM and tarball results are the same.
Anyone else seeing this?

Looks like this might be an issue with the fallback version of node not supporting various libraries current versions. I tested with NVM and node 16 - and I was able to start OSD fine. but this is only a bandaid.
