I will look into why fs/promises is being looked for, and/or what it is.

I switched to node 14 and this ran fine. This hinted me that node 12 has problems with whatever dependency that tries to require/import promises with that path.

Thanks for pointing this out!

This was caused by one of the dev tools (esbuild-plugin-glsl) which is now fixed. It should now be possible to build postprocessing on node≥0.10.18 after running npm update.
