How to install 2.0.0 version? #105

Hello,

I'm trying to install the latest version after a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 with nodejs and npm from apt, but none of the instructions are working. The nodejs package link at https://github.com/bytespider/Meross is broken: https://github.com/bytespider/Meross/actions/workflows/npm-ghr-publish.yml

The instructions at https://github.com/bytespider/Meross/releases/tag/2.0.0 result in 1.0.16 being installed:

lawrence@lawrence-PC:~$ sudo npm install -g meross

added 48 packages in 3s

7 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details
lawrence@lawrence-PC:~$ sudo npm exec -c 'meross info'
Getting info about device with IP 10.10.10.1
^C
lawrence@lawrence-PC:~$ sudo npm exec -c 'meross info --version'
1.0.16

And the npx instructions there just don't work at all:

lawrence@lawrence-PC:~$ npx meross-info --help
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/meross-info - Not found

npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a
npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/lawrence/.npm/_logs/2025-08-20T04_26_14_561Z-debug-0.log
lawrence@lawrence-PC:~$ 

I checked https://www.npmjs.com/package/@meross/lib?activeTab=readme and it shows that the latest version is 2.0.0-beta-3 from 4 months ago.

I also checked the wiki section and the only instructions are for older versions: https://github.com/bytespider/Meross/wiki/MQTT

I don't use nodejs nor npm on a daily basis, so I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. However I have no idea as to what it could be.

If we can figure it out, I'd be happy to write some documentation to help avoid this in the future.
