Requirements

I’ve searched the Issues
I’ve read the basic concepts
I’m using the latest version
I’ve debugged my code using the DEBUG variable.

Platform

I’m using Node.js version v13.11.0 (node -v)
I’m using electron
I’m using the browser Google Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)
I’m using some other environment Windows 10

Description

A specific description of your bug, so it’s understandable to anyone. If you have pictures or videos to upload, please add a link like this: [title](url).

YOUR DESCRIPTION HERE When I run the code with the node it seems that the re2 and url-regex-safe modules were not found, although they are inside my node_modules. I ran the same code within my Windows for Linux subsystems and it worked fine, it seems that the package does not work on Windows 10 or is just on my machine.

Code

Add a meaningful section of your code here. If you are using TypeScript replace js with typescript.

import { IgApiClient } from 'instagram-private-api';
import { sample } from 'lodash';
import { get } from 'request-promise'; // request is already declared as a dependency of the library

import Snoowrap from "snoowrap";
import snoowrap from 'snoowrap'

export class Bot {
  private ig: IgApiClient;
  public r: Snoowrap;

  constructor() {
    this.ig = new IgApiClient();

Error and Output

If you’ve got an error put it here. You can get the stacktrace in the most environments using Error.stack (MDN Docs).
