Startup error: no such file or directory, open '/usr/lib/node_modules/highcharts-export-server//msg/startup.msg

I have installed highcharts-export-server 4.0.1 via npm i highcharts-export-server -g. Running

highcharts-export-server -infile /tmp/vl1l4f0w.puh -outfile /tmp/d2s1f2yz.0t4 -width 600 results in this error message:

[error] - ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/lib/node_modules/highcharts-export-server//msg/startup.msg'

This can be reproduced both in an Ubuntu docker container and on Windows.

I don't think that it matters, but this is the content of the -infile:

{"xAxis":{"categories":["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"]},"series":[{"data":[8,9,5,4],"type":"line"},{"data":[5,3,4,2],"type":"line"}],"credits":{"enabled":false}}

Creating an empty file in the mentioned location fixes the issue.

Thanks for reporting @digitalbanana!

Solved with: #557

And published as v4.0.2.

Please test it out and let me know if it works as expected now in the latest version.
