The program doesn't run with Node 17 or newer. It took me an hour to realize that was why it was not possible to build the project. It runs perfectly in Node 16. So I think it is important to let people know that, to save them time and prevent them from giving up on building the code over such a minor issue.

Ideally, in the future the code could be updated to support the latest Node version. It would probably also be good practice to always specify a recommended Node version for compiling.

Looks good to me, I can check why its not compiling with later nodes, perhaps we can switch to a more recent stable node, there are probably bunch of security issues in currently used packages, but it will depend how dependent are we on that specific node.

Thanks for merging!
That sounds great. I'll try to figure out why as well.
