Today I wanted to update my Node installation. So I downloaded the LTS installer, which did install and run perfectly fine. Then I ran npm which crashes immediately
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __ZNKSt3__14__fs10filesystem4path13__parent_pathEv
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/node (which was built for Mac OS X 11.0)

So apparently node and npm are not compatible with macOS 10.14 anymore. First of all that's complete nonsense. I don't understand why node is built for newest versions only on mac but does run on older linux versions. There is no reason for node to require macOS 11, as there are none of the latest greatest and most flashy frameworks being used.
Now I have a completely broken installation.
If you're unable to support a particular system OS the installer should not install it on that version.
