We are also experiencing the same issue.
On Windows it is not possible to execute $(npm bin).

Installing 1.14.9 failed on Linux, too. I'm also using fish as shell, where $(npm bin) also isn't valid syntax.
However, the exception isn't about the command syntax:

I like the fact a merge request to solve non executable OS turned out revealing how much of a mess is to write an npm instruction ... but as this module is basically deprecated, since @ungap/custom-elements is what everyone should use instead, I might as well remove the dependency and call it a day.

dear all, ligthercollective is gone, nobody should ever have issues anymore with it
