title: oracledb npm Package Installation Fails
body: <p>I am trying to install node-oracledb package as I wanted to connect to an Oracle database in my node.js app.
  However, the installation fails all the time. As I learnt by going through the error messages the cause would be the unavailability of pre-built binary for Node v9.20.
  However, I cannot install the Python and compile the source code as I am in a controlled environment and is bit hard to install Python.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to address this issue?</p>
  
  <p>The error message is,</p>
  
  <pre><code>node package/oracledbinstall.js
