[ErnestAbbott]

Looks a great package, but I can't install it.

@ErnestAbbott :
Can you try to use with lower version of nodejs (14.0 or 10.7.0)?
Maybe this package has not been compatible with node 15.0 yet.

[ErnestAbbott]

Hi Trinh Ngoc Dieu Thank you for taking the time to reply. Very much appreciated. Unfortunately, I don't think that I can downgrade my project at the present. I'm on a very very tight deadline. I thought I had 3 months left to finish, just been told I have only 3 weeks. 🤔 While I'd like to use this package, the company has decided to go for a purchased package because of the very tight deadline. So sad. Regards Ernest

2+ years later, hope your project went well. Just experienced pretty much this exact same issue trying to install this package. The error output I have is nearly identical, using node 18.16.0 though.
