npm run build fails

[SeanPhilippi]

I cloned the repo, and ran 'npm i' inside the scroblr directory. I have done this on another computer successfully in the past. I am trying to install scroblr on my work (Windows 10) computer.

Here's the error when I try 'npm run build':

The "primordials is not defined" error comes from running Gulp 3 on Node.js 12+. You'll want to use a lower version of Node.js (probably v10.x), assuming you don't want to create a pull request to upgrade this project to Gulp 4. Hope it helps!

I guess this project is using Grunt, rather than Gulp, but the same fix should work (though upgrading to the latest Grunt is probably less work than upgrading to Gulp 4, FYI).
