Install Node JS ERROR

Support
#1

When I try to install the blinkstick package using “npm install blinkstick” I get these errors. I have no idea what to do. Anyone know anything? I’m on Mac. Thanks in advance!

#2

I got it working downgrading to Node v8. However when I write “var blinkstick = require(‘blinkstick’);” I get undefined. I installed blinkstick succesfully.

#3

I’m running into the initial euro there as well. I just dropped $100 to grab a bunch of these, it is pretty disheartening to be running into such problems already (before my hardware has even arrived)
