The error message seems to suggest that your nodejs is below version 15 and is informing you that it needs to 15 or higher for your node

Reading the screenshot it would suggest you need v15 or above.

As for Node-RED, currently, V16 or V18 is the recommended version.

PS: We do not recommend or support odd numbered node releases (i.e. do not install V15)
