I noticed ijson wasn't something I had already installed on my host
system.  I'd suggest adding the dependency check similar to the
graph-size make target (support/scripts/size-stats), since this is a
user facing tool vs pkg-stats was for maintenance.  An easy test to
see what dependencies a user might run into on a basic system could be
to use the base buildroot Docker
image(https://hub.docker.com/r/buildroot/base) or create one using
(support/docker/Dockerfile).
