Similar to #56. While running install.sh on a MacBook Pro 2018 with 8GB RAM, the following error is encountered:

Fix forthcoming.

Are you using Node 11.x by any chance? I consistently get this problem when using it, but not when using Node 8.x, 9.x or 10.x.

I have unfortunately not have had a chance to figure out the cause of the difference...

[otterley]

Yes, I'm running Node 11.x. I haven't tried it with earlier versions -- new laptop, Node installed via Homebrew.
