If you install the latest version of node.js while trying to use the Unreal Engine 4.27.2 Remote Control Web Application plugin, you may run into a build failed error when UE tries to build the web app. This is because the latest node.js version is not supported and you need to install a version between Node.js 8 and 14.15.5 https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/ProductionPipelines/ScriptingAndAutomation/WebControl/RemoteControlPresetsAndWebApplication/RemoteControlWebApplication/

If you've already installed the latest version of node.js you need to first uninstall it before you can install the correct version. 

Download the correct version 14.15.5 here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/
