postinstall not working in npm 7.x

See original GitHub issue

Versions

NodeJS: 14.16.0
npm: 7.8.0
mongodb-memory-server: 6.9.6
system: MacOS

package: mongo-memory-server

What is the Problem?

No binaries of mongodb are downloaded on npm install. Setting"disablePostinstall": "0" in the packege.json makes no difference

My package.json (striped):
