Pkg: No available node version satisfies 'node13'

[cylexVEVO]

When I run pkg [file] --targets node13-win-x86 it gives me the error

> [email protected]
> Error! No available node version satisfies 'node13'

However, when I run node -v it outputs with v13.5.0.

I'm using Windows 10 build 1909.

same issue here

 node -v
v13.6.0

Same here, but for Mac OS (node installed via homebrew):

> node -v
v13.8.0
> pkg -v
4.4.3
> sw_vers -productVersion
10.15.3

BTW can confirm that choosing node12-macos-x64 or latest-macos-x64 as targets does work.

Same issue for me.

 ▓▒░ node -v
v13.8.0

▓▒░ pkg -v
4.4.3

I'm using Node v13.7.0.

This is related to sub-project https://github.com/zeit/pkg-fetch which have to poses corresponding definitions and patches for specific nodejs versions.

Contributions are needed in pkg-fetch.

Another issue which confirms pkg architecture:
https://github.com/zeit/pkg/issues/331#issuecomment-447393268

Imho https://github.com/nexe/nexe is less complicated in its architecture and all needed things are in singular GitHub repository, but nexe also needs contributions in a similar matter - related to patching nodejs.

The problem of zeit/pkg-fetch is that it doesn't have any instructions on how we can contribute to it, helping to release new and updated versions.

On my mac, use node8 will be help. While node9, node10...node13 doesn't work.
My node version is v13.6.0

Hope can help you.

use a node version manager like nvm, it looks like the latest version is 12.13.1
so nvm install 12.13.1 then run npm use 12.13.1 before running your builds
