solid init fails

[boblund]

Did (with node 13.6.0, npm 6.13.4, Mac OS 10.14.6):

sudo npm install -g solid-server solid init

And got:

node-solid-server: solid init internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:628 throw e; ^

Error: No valid exports main found for '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/solid-server/node_modules/colorette' at resolveExportsTarget (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:625:9) at applyExports (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:502:14) at resolveExports (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:551:12) at Function.Module._findPath (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:657:22) at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:960:27) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:855:27) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1033:19) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:72:18) at Object.

I fixed the above by downgrading the required colorette dependency to 1.2.0. A web search suggested that node 14 was required for the newer version of colorette.

I then ran into another problem:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/solid-server/node_modules/uuid/dist/esm-browser/index.js:1 export { default as v1 } from './v1.js'; ^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' at wrapSafe (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1060:16) at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1108:27) at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1164:10) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:993:32) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:892:14) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1033:19) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:72:18) at Object.

A web search suggests that the JavaScript construct being complained about requires Node 14. So I guess Solid requires Node 14? If so, maybe the install section could reflect that.

Interesting. I also found that node 13 has compatibility issues with some mpm packages
