fail to install git-meta in ubuntu focal

[xinnjie]

Hi, guys. I followed instruction below, run as root, in ubuntu focal

$ git clone https://github.com/twosigma/git-meta.git
$ cd git-meta/node
$ npm install -g

npm complain like this

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR!

I know very little about js and npm. But git-range version looks very strange

Thanks in advance.

what is your node version? I'd suggest you install nvm and use node.js 8.x version

> node --version
v16.13.0

node version is 16.13. I tried 8.10.0, problem solved! Thanks!
