missing repl accessor 'rli' breaks on launch

[Syncretik]

getting the following when I try to run after install:

$  web3-repl -p https://speedy-nodes-nyc.moralis.io/34a06d56102e25a6f8ec6145/polygon/mumbai

Error: Invalid JSON RPC response: "Method not allowed"
> /Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v17.5.0/lib/node_modules/web3-repl/node_modules/repl.history/index.js:19
  repl.rli.addListener('line', function(code) {
           ^

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'addListener')

is this a dependency issue?
