Steps To Reproduce The Error
Add this to ~/.npmrc:
Then, using NodeJS version 20.x, try to install the latest version 3.1.7
Expected Behaviour
It installs successfully
Actual Behaviour
It claims the node version is unsupported
Version Numbers or N/A
- macOS: 12.6.7
- NodeJS: 20.4.0
- /Applications/ImageOptim.app: 1.8.8
- /Applications/ImageAlpha.app: Not sure, but it isn't relevant
- /Applications/JPEGmini.app: not installed
Help Needed
Please update the engine section in the package.json to be greater than or equal to 18, rather than exactly 18. In other words, the value should be ">=18", not "^18.0.0".

As a note, if you don't have engine-strict=true in your ~/.npmrc, things work fine. I just happen to normally use that setting.
If the package will only work on node 18 and up, I would recommend setting the following in the package.json:
"engineStrict": true,
"engines": {
"node": ">=18"
},By setting engineStrict to true in the package.json, you will block npm from installing the package on older versions even if the user doesn't set the property in their ~/.npmrc. Which would be almost everyone other than me 😅
If you don't set engineStrict to true in the package.json, then almost anyone would be able to install the latest version on NodeJS versions before 18, like 16 or 14. And I'm assuming that probably won't work well.
