The readme llists the supported node versions. Node 12.xx is not listed.
Build from source does not work because of a missing C++ flag somewhere
(-DBOOST_MATH_DISABLE_FLOAT128), see UCL/STIR#209

I was able to solve the problem by switching to node version 6.17.1:

nvm install v6.17.1
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
