FYI - I tried a different distribution tonight which is also based on Ubuntu -- Elementary OS. On this one I had to install 'splash' and it seems to execute fine with no arguments. But once I installed your app using npm, I get the following error running it with --daily

I get the same result with "-r" and note that if I run it without any arguments, there is no error.

FYI. Find the place where is installed unsplash-wallpaper and replace wallpaper dependency with its latest version.

This is what I did

$> cd $HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v10.15.3/lib/node_modules/unsplash-wallpaper/node_modules
$> mv wallpaper wallpaper.original
$> git clone https://github.com/sindresorhus/wallpaper/

It worked with Manjaro Gnome Edition :)

@xcafebabe's solution worked for me.
The path me for however was /usr/local/lib/node_modules/unsplash-wallpaper/node_modules
Running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. Commenting in case it helps someone in the future

$> git clone https://github.com/sindresorhus/wallpaper/

I tried the code above on Ubuntu 20.04 (using /usr/local/lib/node_modules/unsplash-wallpaper/node_modules ) but had to run it with sudo. I ended up with this error.

✗EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/unsplash-wallpaper/node_modules/wallpaper-photo-1596625820723-f0f481ff80be.jpg'

Still having the same problem, even after reverting to the home directory. It only downloads the wallpaper and won't apply it.

@xcafebabe tricks works for me on Ubuntu 20.04.1

It worked for me as well (Ubuntu 20.04). But of course your need to install wallpaper first via npm:
sudo npm install wallpaper
Many thx. Cheers
