replicate on osx 10.15.3 run yarn see output above. Seems to be a sub-dep of xml2json

I've tried following the CLT instructions described here nodejs/node-gyp#1927 but running a 'node-gyp rebuild' is still failing so will need to re-look into this another time.

After using brew to uninstall node & yarn then manually removing my .node-gyp config file. I re-installed node, yarn and node-gyp and can now install and run all packages for submission. (for future reference I manually removed a lotof the config files listed here: https://stackabuse.com/how-to-uninstall-node-js-from-mac-osx/)
