It can be installed with npm.

Same here. I opened a ticket with a downstream dependency (kafkajs-lz4) but it's the same issue:

indix/kafkajs-lz4#3

It's due to a breaking change in yarn v1.22.
Running yarn policies set-version 1.21 fixed the problem for me.

A stop-gap measure in the meantime can be pinning your lz4 versions to 0.6.0.

In your package.json, you can add —

"resolutions": {
    "lz4": "0.6.0"
}
