This npm package is qrcode not 'node-qrcode' ??

[stianjensen]

Yes. node-qrcode is managed in the following repo:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-qrcode
https://github.com/imsobear/node-qrcode

[rafaelmaeuer]

For anyone stumbling across this problem, simply add following resolution to your package.json:

"resolutions": {
  "graceful-fs": "^4.2.11"
}

From: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55921442/how-to-fix-referenceerror-primordials-is-not-defined-in-node-js/58394828#58394828

But keep in mind, you might be installing the wrong node-qrcode package instead of qrcode!
