"Cannot find module '../cli.js'" when following README setup for CLI

[sebastian-onlea]

Having followed the configuration instructions (System Preferences, Voiceover Utility) and installed auto-vo with Node.js 16, I get an error trying to run the example command (--url https://example.com) for proof-of-life.

Same problem with Node.js 14...

Trying to eliminate variables - I tried it using the system-global Node.js environment (outside nvm), and got the same issue.

I had the same problem, some additional observations:

• the file cli.js actually is not present in the auto-vo directory or its subdirectories
• when executing the same command with auto-vo@1.4.0 it works as expected

thanks y'all, this is resolved in v1.6.0
