install fails

Running on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,

Is the problem npm version or my OS?

$ cd trip-simulator/
$ npm version
{
'trip-simulator': '3.0.1',

}

$ npm install -g trip-simulator
npm WARN deprecated core-js@2.6.12: core-js@<3.3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.
