npm install @basemap/sprites is missing modules about basemaps HOT 5 OPEN

Hi @pnorman, I have attempted to reproduce this issue, I started from a fresh nodejs docker container and it all worked fine.

Here are the commands I ran.

docker run -it node:18 /bin/bash

mkdir test-folder
cd test-folder
npm init --yes 
npm install @basemaps/sprites

node_modules/.bin/basemaps-sprites --help

Could you provide more information about your nodejs versions and system setup?

pnorman@took:~/sprites_test$ npm --version
7.5.2
pnorman@took:~/sprites_test$ nodejs --version
v12.22.12

This is on a clean Debian stable release

Node v12 reached end of life in April 2022 https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule
Node v14 will each end of life at the end of April 2023,

The current LTS is v18,
We only test back to node v16, However as far as I can v14 works as expected.

I see the docs mention > v12, I will update that.

engines should also be set in package.json if there are minimum versions - Debian and Ubuntu LTS both have Node 12 in their latest release, so it's fairly common.

It is currently set as the default for what is needed for ESM.

I have made #2749 which will allow node12 to work with sprites.
But then I have also made a PR to say that we only support node>16 with the engines #2748

But considering that it was EOL'd a year ago, I would highly recommend using something like fnm or n to install a current LTS.
