hey @retrogradeorbit and @2V3EvG4LMJFdRe

Thanks for the issue, i think the issue may be the node version? its working for myself on node 14.

But i have posted a pr to update the readme to help others.

Feel free to let me know if node 14 does not fix the issue.

Thank you, it's fixed after I updated node and npm on my mac.

hey @2V3EvG4LMJFdRe what is the output for node --version

[2V3EvG4LMJFdRe]

v17.4.0 @phyzical

@2V3EvG4LMJFdRe thanks, i would suggest just reinstalling your node if your not super familiar with how it all works, another options is to use something like nvm (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)

OH also you shouldn't need to checkout the repo to install this project,

npm install -g spotify-dl should suffice
