Update to v74 c-library
There doesn't appear to be a v74 of the pigpio C library, at least not at the time of writing, see here.
The pigpio Node.js module doesn't actually install the pigpio C library. The pigpio Node.js module assumes that the pigpio C library has already been installed. For further information see the installation section of the readme.

Did the error message that was displayed complain about port 8888 already being in use with an error message like this?
initInitialise: bind to port 8888 failed (Address already in use)
If this is what happened, pigpio can be told to use a different port number by calling configureSocketPort. Alternatively, pigpio can be told not to use a socket by calling configureInterfaces.

As mentioned above, the pigpio Node.js module doesn't actually install the pigpio C library so there is no TODO for the pigpio Node.js module here.
Raspbian Buster 2020-02-05 comes with V71 of the pigpio C library preinstalled. The pigpio Node.js module works as expected on Raspbian Buster 2020-02-05.
