I just tried the basic installation and followed the instructions for the initial setup on a Mac, but it doesn't work, throwing the following error:
/Users/me/Sites/wwebjs-bot/node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/src/webCache/LocalWebCache.js:34
const version = indexHtml.match(/manifest-([\d\.]+).json/)[1];
^
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '1')

at /Users/me/Sites/wwebjs-bot/node_modules/whatsapp-web.js/src/Client.js:786:36
Expected behavior
As a new user, I expect to be able to run the basic installation, per the documentation, and have a plain starting point.
