Install Windows 10

Hi Quire Team,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm needing to install Quire in a new machine (still Windows 10 Pro) and I am consistently getting the same error message:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> npm install --global @thegetty/quire-cli

npm WARN deprecated @babel/polyfill@7.12.1: 🚨 This package has been deprecated in favor of separate inclusion of a polyfill and regenerator-runtime (when needed). See the @babel/polyfill docs (https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-polyfill) for more information.

npm WARN deprecated core-js@2.6.12: core-js@<3.23.3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Some versions have web compatibility issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

Any idea why this might be happening?

@ncamachoh sorry for the delay, are you still having this issue? If so, can you confirm what version of Node you're running?

I think the error you're seeing is the same as issue #672 which we thought was fixed by using node 18.16.0, which was the current LTS (long term support) version at the time. LTS has been bumped to 18.16.1 but I'd expect either to work.

Hi Greg!
Yes, updating the node version seems to have worked. Thanks so much!
