I recommend to try install package uglify-js and see if this works:

  uglifyjs -o twemoji.min.js twemoji.js

If it does, then I recommend to use that instead of terser. Reason is 
that uglify-js has much fewer build-dependencies, and therefore reduces 
the risk of your package getting affected by bugs or migration delays 
elsewhere in the nodejs ecosystem.

Generally you only need terser if your code is written in too modern 
flavor for JavaScript.
