Doesn't work with node 17 / npm 8?

[damienmckenna]

I followed Mario's getting started guide and it resulted in the site using node 17.0.1 and npm 8.1.0. When I then run npm create yo mc-d8-theme it results in the following:

$ npm create yo mc-d8-theme
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;

I created #125 to hopefully resolve this problem, though I haven't tested it yet.

[damienmckenna]

It seems that running npm add libnpx -g lets it run Yeoman with the global tool.

[damienmckenna]

I can confirm that even after running 'npm install @pattern-lab/core, whilenpm run build` works without any errors there is no styleguide available.

FYI when you follow the current instructions to use node 14.6.1 you end up with some security problems in the dependencies tree:

found 40 vulnerabilities (23 moderate, 17 high)
run `npm audit fix` to fix them, or `npm audit` for details

There are also a bunch of warnings:
