Dependency of w3, ipfs-unixfs currently requires npm 7 or greater to install, trying to install on node 14 with npm 6 results in an error:

npm WARN notsup Unsupported engine for [email protected]: wanted: {"node":">=14.0.0","npm":">=7.0.0"} (current: {"node":"14.17.5","npm":"6.14.14"})
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: [email protected]

node 14 and npm 6 are the default latest versions installed on the snap store: https://snapcraft.io/node, also the latest LTS release I think so it would be good to be able to use it without needing to upgrade the package manager.

fix: individual packages can use npm 6 (#167)
2b429cc 
We have engines with npm7 because we use npm7 workspaces, but this should only be needed in the main package.json for development. Internal packages should be published as supporting npm6 given that there are linux environments that still do not support npm7. For more information see web3-storage/web3.storage#387 where this issue was raised

Closes web3-storage/web3.storage#387
