Linux Mint 20 [Ulyana]: Installation utterly broken under NPM, all attempts to solve issues have failed, Percollate rendered unusable

See original GitHub issue

Environment

Operating System: Linux Mint (MATE) 20 Ulyana // Ubuntu Linux 20 derivative distro
node --version: multiple, including recommended 10.0.0
npm --version: corresponding
yarn --version, if using Yarn:
percollate --version: 0.8.0

Description

The installation of Percollate via NPM on Linux Mint (MATE DE) 20 Ulyana (recommended version installed via NVM, as well as generic latest) does not work. It states that multiple dependencies have deprecated and that the installation has failed. I have reinstalled the OS, reinstalled only the recommended v10.0.0 of node.js via NVM and the issues have not been resolved.

Node 10.18.1 didn’t work, but when I removed npm and node.js with sudo apt-get and installed v10.22.0 with NVM percollate installed and worked without issue. I would recommend a clean NVM installation with Node 10.22.0 for everyone running Linux Mint Mate Ulyana.

I would also recommend Percollate to everyone who wants to download web pages as PDFs. It’s simply the easiest and most well-formatted way to get the job done that I have found. Thanks so much for the help.

Unfortunately I haven’t used Node.js on Linux extensively enough to suggest the best approach, but in my tests (installing, and running, Linux Mint 20 in a VirtualBox environment) it seems that nvm works well for managing node versions, installing percollate, and using it.

One small disadvantage to nvm is, however, that you’ll need to install percollate for each node version you use since it stores globally-installed packages in separate folders for each version. (Use npm bin -g to find out where the global binaries are kept).

I’m glad you got percollate working, and thank you for the kind words!

I’ve now bumped the minimum Node version to 10.22.0 for good measure, but I’ll only publish a new version on npm with the next batch of updates.
