I updated node to 12 and I still have the same problem:

[b@localhost:]$ which node
/usr/local/bin/node
[b@localhost:]$ node --version
v12.11.0
[b@localhost:~]$ npm install -g how2
/usr/local/bin/how2 -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/how2/bin/how2

Hi @dataf3l.
This is an issue with devnull dependency that was already discussed and solved. (#89)

TL DR. You should use how-2 instead of how2 to get last updates.
