Install fails during Chromium download

Installation of svgexport fails on my Ubuntu 19.10 system:

$ sudo npm install svgexport -g

If I set PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD it succeeds.

Seems to be a puppeteer install issue:

puppeteer/puppeteer#375

I worked around by using --unsafe-perm=true as suggested in this comment.

The latest version of svgexport isn't updated (0.4.0 currently) with the github source code. Try to install like so: npm install shakiba/svgexport -g
