macOS 10.15.6: gitbook help railse "ReferenceError: primordials is not defined"

[belgoros]

I just installed gitbook-cli as explained in the README:

npm install -g gitbook-cli
/usr/local/bin/gitbook -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/gitbook-cli/bin/gitbook.js
+ [email protected]
updated 3 packages in 4.685s

When checking it with gitbook help, it raised the error:

gitbook help
Error loading version latest: ReferenceError: primordials is not defined

TypeError: Cannot read property 'commands' of null

When checking the version, here is what is displayed:

gitbook -V
CLI version: 2.3.2
GitBook version: 2.6.9

Running gitbook serve raises the same error as above.
Same for gitbook init.

Node versions:

node -v => v13.8.0
npm -v => 6.14.7

What's wrong with that?
