npm i node-stringprep
apt-get install libicu-dev
emerge icu

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/<VERSION>/bin/icu-config /usr/local/bin/icu-config
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/icu4c/<VERSION>/include/* /usr/local/include
If experiencing issues with 'homebrew' installing version 50.1 of icu4c, try the following:
brew search icu4c
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew versions icu4c
cd $(brew --prefix) && git pull --rebase
git checkout c25fd2f $(brew --prefix)/Library/Formula/icu4c.rb
brew install icu4c
var StringPrep = require('node-stringprep').StringPrep;
var prep = new StringPrep('nameprep');
prep.prepare('Äffchen') // => 'äffchen'
