You're on a very recent version of node, it might help to revert to an earlier version if googling that error shows either nothing useful or that it's incompatible.

Do you use nvm? Did you try an npm rebuild first?

You are using a dev branch version of node. Install 4.5.1. I have no issue running nodebb on my macs
