Cannot install the thing: SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

On Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS I cannot install the thing. The command npm install -g sqip-cli@canary returns text like this:

Installed as root on 2 different machines with same result. If you need more info, let me know.

You probably are executing it with a very old version of node. Optional chaining is part of JS since 2020 😅

Can you please try it with node v18.12.1 or newer? :)

Hi, I would like to but since my post I have changed distro. I think you may close this issue.

Anyway, great job with the lib.
