`npm` fails with `Error: Cannot find module 'babel-core'`.

npm build gives me an error Error: Cannot find module 'babel-core':

> github-wikito-converter@1.5.3 build

Node.js v17.6.0

I have no idea how npm works, but a npm install babel-core did not solve this.

There is a fork and it does work with npm v18.x.x, you can try it:

git clone https://github.com/openmpp/github-wikito-converter gwtc
cd gwtc
npm install
npm run build

Hope this helps

Thank you for this.

It has gotten a dependency hell (when I want to make proper GNU/Linux packaging). So I give up on this and I flagged my Arch Linux user repository package for this reason for deletion.

Regards!
