Just as an update if anybody hits the same issue a me - I used the following article to uninstall npm and install it using nvm which manages node and npm versions better than things like homebrew: https://ajaykarwal.com/uninstall-node-and-install-nvm/

Works like a dream now…

I guess this issue can be closed also, since it’s something on my machine… Thanks for all your help.
