Web3.js: npm install web3 broken

[NoahHydro]

Installing web3 1.0 with npm fails with node10/npm6 because of an error in sha3. See this issue for details.

Doesn't work with yarn either ^^^
Is there any timeline on solving this issue, or a good workaround until the JavaScript replacement is fully integrated?

I submitted a PR in the sha3 repo fixing this issue.

Working now! Thank you @NoahHydro!!!

Having exact same issue here. Hope it can get fixed ASAP. Thank you.

@BKDaugherty, maybe we can hardcode the patch to get it done.

Hi everyone,
Suddenly since yesterday I cannot npm install web3 any more. I am using MacOs and hombrew node. The only change that might have caused this is that I think I ran a brew update and brew upgrade recently.
npm -v 6.9.0
node -v v12.1.0

The problem seems to have something to do with sha3 and node-gyp. I saw this issue which seems to be related. Can anyone please help me out or point me to a solution for macOS with my node and npm versions?
