npm i quagga, doesn't install a working version of Quagga

Hello, I could not understand why Quagga was not working- no viewport finder doing it’s thing, and not console logs. Not until I went from importing the npm Quagga module and started using a local quagga js file did it start to work. I was using the live_w_locator.js and importing quagga like import Quagga from 'quagga'; and that’s the only step to reproduce.

in angular app:
import Quagga from 'quagga'; // undefined import * as Quagga from 'quagga'; // <- this works

Couple of sanity check things you can do:

Make sure you aren’t importing quagga twice (say once through a script tag in your html file and again as an import). If you’re using webpack and splitting chunks then check to make sure you are adding the correct files in your html file (this may all seem obvious but you can waste hours on simple mistakes like this). Try this old react example https://github.com/serratus/quagga-react-example and see if that works (it does for me)
