Hello Keen Themes,

I recently purchased the Metronic v8.1.8 theme and have encountered some challenges during the installation process. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving the following dependency issues I encountered while running npm install:

1. npm WARN deprecated stable@0.1.8: I received a deprecation warning regarding the use of stable@0.1.8. According to the provided link to the MDN compatibility table, modern JS already guarantees Array#sort() as a stable sort. Could you please guide me on how to address this warning?

2. npm WARN deprecated flatten@1.0.3: Another deprecation warning I encountered was related to flatten@1.0.3. The warning suggests using utility frameworks like lodash instead. Can you provide guidance on how to proceed in replacing flatten with an appropriate utility framework?

3. npm WARN deprecated trim@0.0.3 and npm WARN deprecated trim@0.0.1: These deprecation warnings suggest using String.prototype.trim() instead of the deprecated versions of trim. Could you please advise on the necessary steps to update the trim usage in the theme?

4. npm WARN deprecated sourcemap-codec@1.4.8: I received a warning indicating that sourcemap-codec@1.4.8 is deprecated and recommends using @jridgewell/sourcemap-codec instead. How can I replace the deprecated package with the suggested one?

5. npm WARN deprecated svgo@1.3.2: The warning message indicates that the installed version of svgo is no longer supported and advises upgrading to v2.x.x. Can you provide guidance on how to upgrade svgo to the recommended version?

6. npm WARN deprecated popper.js@1.16.1: This warning suggests using @popperjs/core for the new Popper v2, as the current package is dedicated to the legacy v1. Could you please guide me on how to transition to the new Popper v2 package?

The are many Security Risks

Furthermore, the installation process reported 37 vulnerabilities (15 moderate, 19 high, 3 critical). I would appreciate assistance in addressing these vulnerabilities to ensure the theme's stability and security.

I kindly request your support in resolving these dependency issues and vulnerabilities. Your guidance in rectifying these concerns will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help and prompt attention to this matter.

Best regards
