Alter package.json engine allowances for NPM

Description:

• A-Frame Version: 1.2.0
• Platform / Device: Mac OS Big Sur, version 11.4; All browser platforms
• Reproducible Code Snippet or URL:

  $ npm install aframe@latest

I've encountered the error of EBADENGINE several times whenever installing with the latest versions of Node and NPM. It's more an annoyance, as I've had no problems using either of those versions with AFrame (especially since it's a build-time situation). To the best of my knowledge, the problem lies in the package.json under the engines object:

"node": ">=4.6.0",
"npm": "^2.15.9"

While this won't cause any problems with my version of Node (16.2.0), it will be causing issues for any recent versions of NPM.

Is there any reason why it's locked to that specific version of NPM? Could we change it to be a >= just like in the node field?

Thanks!

Thanks. We can indeed bump the node version. We just need to make sure there are no issues. I’m not sure there’s longer a reason to be locked to an old version.

Great! Let me know if there's anything I could do to help. I could even put in a PR for it if you want.
