The maintenance of vm2 has been discontinued due to critical security issues (patriksimek/vm2#533), and isolated-vm is suggested as replacement.

Quoted from the requirements of isolated-vm:

This project requires nodejs version 16.x (or later).

🚨 If you are using a version of nodejs 20.x or later, you must pass --no-node-snapshot to node.

Furthermore, to install this module you will need a compiler installed. If you run into errors while
running npm install isolated-vm it is likely you don't have a compiler set up, or your compiler is
too old.
