Hey, The README says:

Method 2: npm

If you have Node.js installed (recommended v8.x), you can easily install Orca using npm as:

When installing nodejs v8 I get: 

================================================================================
================================================================================

                              DEPRECATION WARNING                            

  Node.js 8.x LTS Carbon is no longer actively supported!

  You will not receive security or critical stability updates for this version.

  You should migrate to a supported version of Node.js as soon as possible.
  Use the installation script that corresponds to the version of Node.js you
  wish to install. e.g.

   * https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x — Node.js 10 LTS "Dubnium"
   * https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x — Node.js 12 LTS "Erbium" (recommended)
   * https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x — Node.js 14 LTS "Fermium"

What version would orca work with on NodeJS?

Also, when installing I get:

$ sudo npm install -g electron@6.1.4 orca
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
npm WARN deprecated left-pad@1.3.0: use String.prototype.padStart()

I am trying to install using node because I want to use it headless in docker in an existing image I have. Appimage is causing issues because there is no fuse option, and extracting the Appimage yields scripts that break.

It should work with newer version of node as well. However, the installation process can be difficult so we'll be replacing Orca with the new Kaleido project (https://github.com/plotly/Kaleido) which is significantly easier to install in docker containers and is our new recommended way forward for this kind of thing :)
