I’m unable to set up the PyCall binding to pydeck shown here [tutorial](https://deloitteoptimalreality.github.io/LightOSM.jl/notebooks/tutorial/)

Basically `yarn bootstrap` exits with an `error Command failed with exit code 1` trying to build `pydeck/julia-pycall-binding` branch.

I’ve cloned the repo where `Pkg.dir("PyCall")` points to but `yarn bootstrap` fails with code mentioned above. I’ve tried

```julia
rm -rf node_modules
yarn cache clean
yarn

```

and then yarn bootstrap, to no avail

Also `yard run test` fails with 85 `error Unable to resolve path to module '@deck.gl/core' import/no-unresolved`

Please help @captchanjack1 !

I’ve succeeded by:

1. downgrading `npm` to 16 -LTS got me a step further but had to downgrade further.

2. Installing dependencies `pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg` via `brew` in my case.

3. Reinstall and rebuild `node-gyp` and `gl`:

```julia
npm uninstall -g node-gyp
npm install -g node-gyp
npm rebuild

```

and then from `deck.gl/bindings/pydeck` run `yarn bootstrap`
