This appears to be similiar to other issues on the forum but not exactly.

I’m running OS-x 10.14.2

Apologies if you have already run through these things, but I want to rule these out:

Which version of node are you running?
Can you try upgrading node and rerunning npm install

If that also fails with the same error, have you tried:

npm install tiny-secp256k1

and then rerunning npm install.

Let me know where that gets you.
