Jupyter-notebook fails to install in ATOM

I'm attempting to install the Jupyter-notebook in ATOM (version 1.45.0). ATOM is running on a Mac Pro (2019) under Mac OS X ver. 10.15.4 (Catalina). The output from the attempted installation follows.

Installing package jupyter-notebook failed Error: Installing “jupyter-notebook@0.0.10” failed.

No repository file or test is named. Start by reproducing installation of jupyter-notebook@0.0.10 in Atom 1.45 on macOS Catalina and inspect the reported node-gyp failures for bufferutil, utf-8-validate, and pathwatcher. Done means the package installs without the Python-version failure.
