Errors trying to install in Crostini

[tbuckley]

Following the steps in README.md using Crostini, I ran into a couple errors. I haven't been able to move past the second so far.

1. make was missing, so I ran sudo apt install build-essential

2. There appears to be an issue with tree-sitter-markdown and nan, which might be nan_callbacks.h:55:23: error: ‘AccessorSignature’ is not a member of ‘v8’ nodejs/nan#942:

npm ERR! > tree-sitter-markdown@0.1.1 install
[...skipped]
npm ERR! In file included from ../node_modules/nan/nan.h:180,
npm ERR!                  from ../bindings/node/binding.cc:3:

Per the issue, I tried resolving this by adding the following to package.json, but it doesn't seem to do the trick

"scripts" {
  // ...
  "preinstall": "npx npm-force-resolutions"
},
"resolutions": {
  "nan": "2.17.0"
}

What is node --version?

This works for me with v18.12.1. I installed that using https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#using-ubuntu-4

There is one other step missing from README.md, after cloning the repo we need to run git submodule update --init --recursive but it shouldn't cause the above issue.

node --version is v19.4.0 (installed via nvm install stable)
npm --version is 9.2.0

I switched node to 18.12.1 (and npm 8.19.2) using nvm, and could not reproduce the error :-/
