NPM install of the latest Prepack version 0.2.38 fails due to a missing profiler archive node-v64-darwin-x64.tar.gz

[rpkoller]

Even there is already a version 0.2.39 listed here on Github the latest prepack version on npm is listed with version 0.2.38. When I tried to install with 'npm -g install prepack' today the install fails:

$> npm -g uninstall prepack

I am running Node 10.4.1 and npm 6.1.0 on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.5. Cheers Ralf

Same situation and error with version 0.2.39 which is live on npm now. :/ Retried with 0.2.41 and Node 10.5 now, but same result

[NTillmann]

Does it work for you with the v8.11.3 LTS node.js version?

Closing for now. Please re-open if the issue persists.
