The latest changes introduce a forced minimum version of Node and NPM in the package.json.
This version is then used for the CI pipeline to configure the Node/NPM version.

Production code should not contain configurations for the automated test pipeline. Now all developers are forced to use a non-LTS Node/NPM version.

I suggest to either remove the required versions from the package.json and facilitate matrix builds in the CI pipeline with whatever Node/NPM versions, or require an appropriate (minimum) version in package.json and not the latest and greatest Node/NPM version. I'm pretty sure this package is even compatible when run with Node v16 LTS.

Workaround:
A project that uses nw must ensure not using engine-strict = true, so it only shows up as warning and not as error when installing the nw package dependency.

@ronny1982 Realised my mistake and fixed in #106. It should work with v0.81.x onwards. You can patch the current release or unset engine-strict, as you've said above.

Refactor install script (#114)

* Refactor install script:
  * Convert from CJS to ESM
  * Improve code documentation
  * Adopt many ES6+ coding styles (let/const, promises, optional chaining, endsWith, etc.)
* Manifest Maintenance:
  * Reduce dependencies from 10 to 5 by swapping most out for native Node modules, or newer alternatives.
  * Updated dependencies.
  * Remove "engines" and "packageManager" from manifest to avoid reported issues.
* Bug fixes:
  * #26 & #74 - Freezing during or after post-install step.
  * #77 - Decompress API change bug. Swapped Decompress for Compressing.

I'm using yarn and adding with yarn add nw and I get this with Node LTS, with 0.81.0

error nw@0.81.0: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "v20.5.0". Got "18.18.2"
error Found incompatible module.

and latest node 20 (using nvm use 20), still insists on specific version.

error nw@0.81.0: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "v20.5.0". Got "20.8.1"
error Found incompatible module.

workaround - yarn add nw --ignore-engines
