try to update node .

npm install npm@latest -g

user@foo ~ % npm --version
6.14.8
user@foo ~ % node --version
v12.15.0
user@foo ~ % electron --version
v10.1.5

Same error, on macOS. Electron runs fine: screenshot of the electron command

Installing the node module as root or as current user doesn't do difference either, even though I have to say that it's worrisome that proposed fixes are installing node modules as root (post-install scripts anyone?)

---

Forcefully removing terminalizer from node_modules and re-installing it fixed it for me.

On macOS:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/terminalizer
npm install -g terminalizer
