The latest Marp CLI (v1.0.0+) has already dropped the support for Node.js < 12 in accordance with Node.js maintenance schedule.

marp-cli/package.json

Lines 28 to 30 in 91ad8c0

	"engines": {
	"node": ">=12"
	},

Probably you're using Node.js < 12 and it has already reached End-Of-Life. Please upgrade your Node.js to the supported version (>= 12).

When the updation is blocking by a special reason, you can use the latest release of Marp CLI v0.x.x as a workaround.

npx @marp-team/marp-cli@^0.23.3

Ubuntu is a pretty popular operating system, maybe it's worth documenting this in the install instructions rather than just closing the issue?

@jlevon We're always welcome for your pull request to add Node.js requirement.
