Faced this issue too (I tried to install every version from 2.8.2 to 2.6.0). I think, that the reason is a combination of MacOS + nodejs 10. Realm repos doesn't contain precompiled versions for node10, that's why node is trying to build them from source:

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://static.realm.io/node-pre-gyp/2.8.0/realm-v2.8.0-node-v64-darwin-x64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v64 ABI, unknown) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)
node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(undefined): https://static.realm.io/node-pre-gyp/2.8.0/realm-v2.8.0-node-v64-darwin-x64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for [email protected] and [email protected] (node-v64 ABI, unknown) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

In my case, there is an error:

fatal error: 'util/atomic_shared_ptr.hpp' file not found

I think, that this issue can be a source of solution:

Ways to solve

I think that you could try to create precompiled versions for node10.

Version of Realm and Tooling

Realm JS SDK Version: 2.8.2 ~ 2.6.0
Node or React Native: Node 10.4.0, react-native 0.55.4
Client OS & Version: Mac Sierra 10.12.6
Which debugger for React Native: https://github.com/jhen0409/react-native-debugger

As noted in #1813 we don't support node 10 yet. We hope that we can work on it once our dependencies' dependencies are updated.
