What if the error persists after updating OpenSSL and npm?

If the error persists after updating OpenSSL and npm, double-check your system's configuration files (e.g., `/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf` on Linux) for any incorrect or conflicting settings. Inspect your `.npmrc` file for any conflicting configurations. Try clearing the npm cache with `npm cache clean --force` and then reinstalling dependencies. Also, consider investigating network issues, such as DNS resolution problems or connectivity issues to the npm registry.
