Unable to install on mac os

[mstevens]

HI, I tried to install this on mac os following the install instructions but yarn gitbook install failed:

michaelstevens@Michaels-MacBook-Air doc % yarn gitbook install

I tested node 18 to see if it made a difference:

gitbook-cli looked abandoned so I managed to get something generating with this diff:

 }

(note it becomes yarn honkit serve to run a local server)

but I do get a bunch of warnings so not totally happy with it.

We know gitbook is abandoned. The build to deploy the doc is using node v10.24.1. Give a try maybe

It's difficult to find a node that old! But yes it did work when I found one.

Did a better version of the change to use honkit on a fork: https://github.com/wallabag/doc/commit/f4c614c8172724092b41905f78fdef774f6a0bb9

Looks (nearly) identical to me and works in current node.
