nodejs: Cannot install opencc@1.1.8

[Cerallin]

This is because data/scripts are missing, and not uploaded to npm.

Part of the logs:

does python exist?

[Cerallin]

does python exist?

At first I executed npm install, and it reported an error: cannot find python. So I made a soft link ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /bin/python. Then npm install again.

This is where we are now. (Is python3 the right version?)

[tomcatliu2016]

I have fixed the issue and created a pull request (PR): https://github.com/BYVoid/OpenCC/pull/911 As a temporary workaround until the npm package is updated, you can do the following:

1. Clone my forked repository on the fix_npm_install_error branch: https://github.com/tomcatliu2016/OpenCC/tree/fix_npm_install_error
2. Navigate to the OpenCC directory and create a tarball:

cd OpenCC
npm pack

3. In your Node.js project, install the tarball:

   npm install /path/to/tarball

This method serves as a temporary solution until the npm package is officially updated.
