Description

Hello, I have written a shell-installer that installs a complete Laravel-Environment with the newest possible software versions for myself and with the latest versions of PHP, Composer, Laravel-Installer and NPM; I get the following notices/errors on an installation using the Laravel Installer:

> @php -r "file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');"

   INFO  Application key set successfully.

Thank you for your attention.

Steps To Reproduce

Just a normal Laravel installation using the latest Laravel-Installer with the newest NPM (11.11.1) chosing "Yes" on the question "Would you like to run npm install and npm run build?"

UPDATE: Seems that the installer only supports node with the version 22. Everything above will generate warnings/errors.

Version 23:

npm warn EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm warn Enpm warn EBADENGINE }BADENGINE package: 'eslint-visitor-keys@5.0.1',
npm warn EBADENGINE required: { node: '^20.19.0 || ^22.13.0 || >=24' },
npm warn EBADENGINE current: { node: 'v23.11.1', npm: '10.9.2' }
npm warn EBADENGINE }

Version 24 and above (including version 25, the current and most recent):

npm warn Unknown project config "public-hoist-pattern". This will stop working in the next major version of npm. See npm help npmrc for supported config options.

I kindly suggest to fix the "public-hoist-pattern" issue as it is the only notice/error with the most recent version of node. Should be an easy fix and makes the Laravel installer future-proof.
