Installation problem with Bitcore.io on Mac

I'm normally not too brain-dead about this stuff, but I've been unable to force this one through. I'm trying to install Bitcore (per their instructions here) but and have set nvm to the LTS version 4, as directed (v4.9.1), but when I run npm install -g bitcore it pukes at me:

/Users/evilg/.nvm/versions/node/v4.9.1/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:85
      let notifier = require('update-notifier')({pkg})
      ^^^

SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode
    at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16)
    at Module._compile (module.js:373:25)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:416:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:343:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:300:12)
    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:441:10)
    at startup (node.js:140:18)
    at node.js:1043:3

For what it's worth, my npm version is 6.2.0.

Any help much appreciated!

1You are aware that bitcore is not Bitcoin Core, yes? – Anonymous – 2019-01-14T18:36:13.660

Yes, very aware. :) – Jesse in Oregon – 2019-01-15T19:57:20.973

UPDATE: Apparently the problem is because Mac OS doesn't support the library libunwind... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27842377/building-libunwind-for-mac#27853419 -- but I assume there's gotta be a viable workaround. Surely all us Mac folks aren't forced to set up virtual boxes just to use Bitcore.io? – Jesse in Oregon – 2019-01-16T19:24:28.947
