Library can't be installed

[rptoma]

The library can not be installed.

Node version 14.2.0 npm version 6.14.5

OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.3

I think it is because of the sharp dependency which needs to be updated.

If you try to install that version of sharp in the project, it would give the same error. The latest sharp version works, though.

It might be that that version of sharp is not supported on macOS Catalina: https://github.com/cncf/landscapeapp/issues/475.

I created a PR #104

[rylnd]

Hey @rptoma! It looks like you're using a newer version of node than is currently supported. As a temporary workaround, you may be able to use node 10.x as that appears to use a prebuilt version of sharp-libvps.

[antonlukin]

Hello there. I think it's a good idea to support the current nodejs version.

[parostatkiem-zz]

Bump: I came across this library of wonderful avatars and I'd like to use it. Sadly, it doesn't support the LTS Nodejs 😞

[rylnd]

I've just released version 0.5.0, which specifies node >= 10.x and includes an updated version of the sharp package.
